Roddick Wins Title For 12 Years in a Row at Eastbourne

Andy Roddick made his final preparation for Wimbledon a successful one, capturing the title at the Eastbourne tune-up on Saturday with a straight-set win over Italy's Andreas Seppi.

To say 2012 has been a struggle for Roddick is an understatement,  his best previous results were quarterfinal appearances in San Jose and Delray Beach. The American was eliminated in the first round of the French Open and also lost his first match last week at the Queen's Club before taking a wild card entry into this Eastbourne event to get ready for Wimbledon, which starts next week.

A three-time runner-up at the All England Club, Roddick earned his 31st career title and first since last year in Memphis with a 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Seppi on Saturday. It also gave Roddick at least one title in 12 straight years to match Roger Federer's active streak. He also became the first American to reach the winner's circle in 2012.

"I wanted to keep alive winning one tournament a year for 12 years," said Roddick. "I know three or four people have done that. I need to remind myself of those numbers just to [remember] this is a what did you do last week type sport. So looking back on that, maybe I need to look at those a little bit more and realize that I've done this for a long time pretty well."

Australian Open Day 4: Match of the Day

Lleyton Hewitt vs. Andy Roddick

A lot of matches on Thursday in Australia, but nothing too earth shattering.

That leaves us with a match featuring former grand slam champs who were also former No 1s in the world.  And they meeting in the second round.

I'm of course talking about Lleyton Hewitt and Andry Roddick.

Hewitt is 30 years of age and his ranking has slipped close to 200 in the world.  Roddick is 29 and he fell out of the top-10 last summer, but he's holing steady at No. 16.

This match will bring back a lot of memories if not great play, but it's entertaining nonetheless.

Even though Hewitt will have the home crowd support, Roddick has a little too much right now for the Aussie.

These two have played 13 times in the past with Roddick holding a 7-6 advantage.  Hewitt hasn't beaten Roddick since Indian Wells in 2005, but expect Lleyton to fight as hard as ever on every point.

I like Roddick in 3 tough sets, maybe with a few tiebreaks thrown in.

U.S. Open Match to Watch: Day 5

Two Americans will do battle under the lights.

Jack Sock vs. Andy Roddick

It may not be the best match on Friday's docket, but fans of American tennis, do miss this one!

Forgive Andy Roddick if he feels he is looking in the mirror heading into this match with the 18-year old , Sock.

Sock was born in Nebraska, same as Roddick, Sock possesses a big serve and a driving forehand, similar to Roddick's.  Sock is getting a chance to play a big match on the Stadium Court at the U.S. Open, much like Roddick did when he was younger.

Both players will be on top of their games, but Roddick has too much experience for his younger opponent.  The experience Sock will take from this match will be invaluable to him as he starts his pro career. 

Pull up a seat, get some popcorn and enjoy watching the present and future of American men's tennis.

Prediction: Roddick in 3
