Andy is famed for his press conference quotes and 2007 was no exception in producing some gems from Andy. In between getting asked an outrageous 58 questions on his new coaching partnership with Jimmy Connors, Andy continued to entertain the press with quick wit and humour and on Day 3 of Advent, we look back on some of Andy’s Notable Quoteables of the season.

Just for starters… Just so you get the idea…

Q. How much has Jimmy Connors added to your game?
ANDY RODDICK: We almost made it through a press conference. We were close (laughter).
Jimmy’s been great for my game. He’s been instrumental. It’s great ‘cause he’s been there before. It’s nice to have someone to relate to. We have a real good time together. (All said with a broken-record monotonous tone.) – And that was only by Queen’s!

And now for the good stuff!

“The media? They wouldn’t exaggerate something (smiling). Are you kidding me?” – Andy Down Under at the Australian Open in January

“I’ve never seen so many middle-aged men get absolutely dumbfounded when he walks around the corner. I get a kick out of it, you know. Between like the 14-year-old girls and the 60-year-old men, we’ve got it covered. We’ve got all the demographics (laughter).” – Andy on his own and Jimmy Connor’s popularity – Pacific Life Open.

“It’s got more holes than Swiss cheese, I’m telling you.” – Andy on the tried and failed round-robin format at ATP events.
