Apparently all my material is going to come from Andy Roddick interviews from now on, so hopefully he won’t retire from a devastating injury tomorrow. Otherwise, I’d be forced to stop writing, which might be tragic for the 0.6 dedicated readers of this blog.

This time, our quote of the day comes from a journalist interviewing Mr Roddick.

Is this starting to look a little bit like an AARP convention here in the draw with Haas, Ferrero, and Hewitt, all the old guys in there?

Ok, let’s get this straight. I know that athletes in most sports are no longer young by age 30, but isn’t this a bit harsh? Let’s check the numbers quickly.

Juan Carlos Ferrero, born 2 February 1980 (age 29)
Tommy Haas, born 3 April 1978 (age 31)
Lleyton Hewitt, born 24 February 1981 (age 28)
Andy Roddick, born 30 August 1982 (age 26)

Um, yes… they’re all so incredibly ancient, wouldn’t you agree?
