Andy Roddick is returning to the tennis courts this summer. The former world number one was the top pick in today's Mylan World TeamTennis Marquee Draft. Roddick, who first started with Mylan WTT in 2000, will play for the Springfield Lasers.  This will be Roddick's 7th Mylan WTT season and his first since 2010.

"I first played World TeamTennis when I was just starting out and have played throughout my career so I'm excited to be back," said Roddick. "I've always liked the competition and the fan energy.  I love being on a team and am looking forward to playing for the Springfield Lasers this July."

Day 10 of the US Open will remain etched in the memories of the New York fans for many more years to come as "Black Wednesday" witnessed the curtain falling on one of the greatest American tennis player's of the modern era, the 20th seed, Andy Roddick. Roddick had the unenviable responsibility of single-handedly keeping American tennis in the limelight for the better part of the past decade. He bid farewell to the tennis world on Wednesday afternoon, losing in four competitive sets to the 2009 US Open champion, Juan Martin Del Potro. The match, which was carried over to Wednesday due to heavy rains that washed out majority of the matches on day 9, resumed with Roddick leading 1-0 in the 1st tie-breaker. He was to take that tiebreak, before dropping the next three sets to go down 67(1) 76(4) 62 64.

Even though, Roddick came out of the blocks guns blazing, running away with the first set, the sad truth started manifesting itself as the Argentine started finding his rhythm on his serve and powerful groundstrokes, outmatching the American from the back of the court with both consistency and power. Nevertheless, Roddick managed to keep the match overwhelmingly close thanks in no small part to his booming serve. and his willingness to attack on the slightest of opportunities, saw him blasting a total of 57 winners as compared to 51 from his opponents. However, after 195 minutes of riveting tennis, Del Potro took the role of the villain, finishing off Roddick's career to proceed to his first US Open quarterfinal since 2009 where he is scheduled to meet the World no.2 and defending champion, Novak Djokovic in a blockbuster clash.

World no.2 and defending champion, Novak Djokovic remains firmly on quest to grab his second US Open title in succession as he steamrolled past his most recent victim, Rogerio Dutra Silva 62 61 62. Losing just a handful of games in the first two rounds, the Serbian has reinstated his position as the top favourite to make it all the way in the Big Apple. Meanwhile, the apple of the crowd's eye, the sentimental favorite, Andy Roddick, who had announce on Thursday that the US Open will be his swansong, also rolled past the Australian teenager, Bernard Tomic in easy straight sets 63 64 60. The American, wound back the clock many a years, rediscovering the game that has fetched him his lone Grand Slam title at this very venue back in 2003 to book a spot in 3rd round.

Joining him in the the 3rd round is compatriot John Isner, who was given more of a workout by his opponent, Jarkko Nieminen, working his way towards a four set win. Also proceeding to the round of 32 are the 7th seed and 2009 US Open champion, Juan Martin Del Potro, who also needed four sets, 62 62 26 62 to see of his opponent, American Ryan Harrison and the 4th seed Spaniard, David Ferrer, who breezed past his opponent, Igor Sijsling in straight sets, 62 63 76(12).

Andy Roddick claimed the AEGON International men's singles title in convincing fashion on Saturday, beating defending champion Andreas Seppi 6-3 6-2 to claim his first tournament trophy for 16 months. Roddick powered through the final in one hour and 12-minutes to claim his 31st career title and continue his record of winning at least one ATP World Tour title per year for the past 12 years.

Roddick said the AEGON International had provided him with the perfect warm-up ahead of Wimbledon. "I feel really good," said the former world No.1. "My returns this week were close to as well as I have (returned).

The sun shone and Andy Roddick sailed on at the AEGON International on Wednesday, a straight-sets win over Jeremy Chardy earning the former world No.1 a quarterfinal berth against Fabio Fognini. Roddick came out of the blocks fast against Chardy, taking the opening set in 29 minutes.

The Frenchman put up a fight in the second set, saving three match points serving to stay in the set against Roddick trailing 5-6, then another three match points in the breaker, before the American clinched the match 6-1 7-6(6).

It was a day of shocks and upsets at The Aegon Championship in London as 9 seeded players including the top seed faltered today. However, 2nd Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and 3rd seed Janko Tipsarevic survived whirlwind Wednesday to keep their title challenge alive.

The biggest upset of the day was definitely the departure of top seeded Briton Andy Murray as he was defeated by Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, who was immortalized for that marathon Wimbledon match against John Isner. The match experienced some fierce battle between the giant and the giant-killer as both the 2nd and 3rd sets were decided by tie-breakers and it was Mahut, who kept his cool at the end to take the match 6-3, 6-7, 7-6.

One took five sets, the other took two, but in the end both lower ranked players in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open got the better of their more fancied opponents. Marin Cilic, the no.14 seed, came through his third five-setter in four rounds to down former US Open champion Andy Roddick 7-6 (4), 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 before Andy Murray knocked out the defending champion and world no.2 Rafael Nadal. Murray was up by two sets to love and a break to the good in third when the 6-time Grand Slam champion called it quits due to the recurrence of a knee injury that plagued him most of last season.

After two rather short women's quarter-finals, the 15,000 fans who had packed into Rod Laver Arena to enjoy 'Australia Day' were given a real treat by Cilic and Roddick. Not surprisingly for two players separated by 6-years in age, the pair had met just twice previously, with a win each to their credit. The 6'6" Croat had youth, a powerful all-round game, loads of confidence and a real hunger on his side, while the American had bags of experience, one of the best serves in the game and some good old fashioned luck finally going for him following his win over Fernando Gonzalez in the previous round.
