Andy Roddick
Andrew Stephen "Andy" Roddick (born August 30, 1982) is an American professional  tennis   player and a former  World No. 1. His best surfaces are hard court and grass .
He is the top-ranked American player and the only male American inside the top 10. He becameGrand Slam  singles champion when he won the title at the 2003 US Open . Roddick has reached four other Grand Slam finals (Wimbledon three times and the US Open  once ), losing to Roger Federer  each time. He and Federer are the only players to have been ranked in the  Association of Tennis Professionals top 10 at year -end from 2002 through 2009. Roddick is known for his powerful  serves and holds the fastest serve recorded in professional tennis, measured at 155 mph (249.5km/h).
Roddick has been on the United States Davis Cup team  for several years , helping the US win 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, though he generally prefers to remain near the  baseline  after a serve. Despite all this, Roddick is sometimes criticized for his lack of variety; however , he has developed a more all-court playing style compared to the aggressive baseline style he played with for most of his early career . Under new coach  Larry Stefanki, he has been in the fittest shape of his career, as well as developing his volleying skills. Roddick's backhand is also considered to have improved over the course of his career.

Term paper Tennis Karin Visnapuu 10B I decided to make this term about tennis, because I enjoy playing tennis. I have played it for two years. It's not long time but I have learned lots of skills during that time. Tennis is a sport played between two players or between two teams of two players each. Each player has a racket. Tennis is played with a tennis-ball. At first, the ball was white but in the later part of the 20th century it was changed to yellow to allow improved visibility. The modern game of tennis originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1

London is the capital of both England and the United Kingdom, and the largest metropolitan area in the European Union. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its foundation, London has been part of many movements and phenomena throughout history, including the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival.The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century, the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis that has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly. London is one of the world's most important business, financial and cultural centres and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts contributes to its status as a major global city.Central

Sports. Sports has a very old history. The ancient Olympic Games were the first big sports competitions. The history of the Olympic Games is linked with many myths referred to in ancient sources, but in the historic years their founder is said to be Oxylos whose descendant Ifitos later rejuvenated the Games. According to the tradition, the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. when Ifitos made a treaty with Lycourgos the king and famous legislator of Sparta and Cleisthenes the king of Pissa. In this treaty that was the decisive event for the development of the sanctuary as a Panhellenic centre, the "sacred truce" was agreed. That is to say ceasing of fighting in all of the Freek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. The Olympic Games were held, after the completion of four years during the month of July or August. The time between two competitions was called the Olympiad. In the beginning the games last
