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
