Washington Post: Roddick In Washington

For Andy Roddick, this week’s Legg Mason Tennis Classic may serve to settle his stomach.
The world’s fifth-ranked player enters the tournament at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center in the District as the top seed and favorite but is coming off of losses at Wimbledon and Indianapolis that left him feeling a bit queasy.
“It’s nice to go back to places you have good memories of,” Roddick said after his first practice session yesterday. “Fortunately, on this hard-court circuit I’ve won all of the events once and some of them twice [including the Legg Mason]. It’s nice to be able to draw on these memories. There’s no question I feel comfortable here.”
That’s more than he could say in his past two tournaments. He was up two sets against Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the Wimbledon quarterfinals before falling apart — “I’d love to try to make you understand what it feels like in the pit of your stomach right now, but I don’t know if I can do that,” he said at the time.
