the 2007 Davis Cup, the first win by the US since 1995. Roddick's breakthrough year was in 2003, in which he defeated Younes El Aynaoui in the quarterfinals of 2003 Australian Open. Roddick is known for his powerful first serve, usually serving at around 130-150 mph (209~242 km/h), which he uses to earn free points with aces and unreturnable serves. His first serve is known to some as the "Roddick Serve" since he abbreviates the serve by removing part of the motion. He usually targets the two corners to win aces. As for his second serve, he usually employs a heavy kick serve, then tries to use a variety of spins, slices, and angles in the rally to throw off his opponent. He is noted to use heavy topspin on both his serves and his twist serve is probably the highest-kicking serve anyone hits. Roddick will also occasionally use the serve-and-volley tactic on both first and second services to surprise his opponent,
him. But appearances are deceiving, Russell says. Notice that the ostensible singular term, "The author of Waverley," consists of our troublesome word "the" pasted onto the front of a predicative expression, and notice too that the meaning of that expression figures crucially in our ability to recognize or pick out the expression's referent; to find the referent we have to look for someone who did write Waverley. Russell suggests that "the" abbreviates a more complex construction involving what logicians and linguists call quanti- fiers, words that quantify general terms ("all teenagers," "some bananas," "six geese a-laying," "most police officers," "no light bulbs," and the like). Indeed, he thinks that (5) as a whole abbreviates a conjunction of three quantified general statements, none of which makes reference to Scott in particular: (5a) At least one person authored Waverley. (5b) At most one person authored Waverley.
