Andy has opted to forgo next week’s tournament in Hamburg in an effort to best prepare for the French Open. “Andy is going to get back to Austin and really work hard on his fitness to get his strength back after the hamstring injury,” Coach John Roddick told Ar.com. Team Roddick will return stateside today.

“I came in here short on practice. I was battling a stomach virus for a little while.
So I don’t feel like I’m in as good a shape as I could be as a result of that. So somewhere between here and Roland Garros I’m going to have to get in shape,” Andy told reporters following a shaky match against Chela. Check back to Ar.com for more as Team Roddick gets back to the basics.
