ATLANTA: Winning tournaments never gets old for Andy Roddick.
Roddick beat Gilles Muller 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2 to win the Atlanta Open and his 32nd ATP title on Sunday.
”I’ve always appreciated it,” he said. ”I’ve never thought it was easy.”
After the match ended, Roddick celebrated by gently tossing his racquet into the stands and handing the trophy to a random fan.
”I’ve won 32 times and in every one of them I’ve never assumed I was going to win again,” he said. ”I just kind of go about the process of playing, work hard and hope I can put myself in position enough times where you kind of create some success for yourself.”
Roddick, 29, ranks third among active players in career titles behind Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Roddick has now won two of his past three events.
He will play for the US team next week at the Olympics. (AP)
