Quotes from Andy Roddick press conference

“I’ll make this short and sweet. I’ve decided that this is going to be my last tournament.”

“On some big moments this year, I think I’ve known I was done. Walking off at Wimbledon, I felt like I knew. Playing here (at the US Open), I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t imagine myself being here in another year.”

“Whatever my faults were, I’ve always felt like I’ve never done anything halfway. This is probably the first time in my career that I can sit here and say, I’m not sure I can put everything into it physically and emotionally. I don’t know if I want to disrespect the game by coasting home.”

On his final match: “I don’t know how tomorrow is going to go. I hope it goes well and I hope I’m sticking around, but I just imagine coming off the court tomorrow to an empty locker room. I think I want a chance to say goodbye and also if I do run into some emotions tomorrow or four days from now or however long, I don’t want people to think I’m a little unstable.”
