Game, Set & Match For Andy Roddick

Tennis ace Andy Roddick has announced his plans to retire from the sport after the U.S. Open.

America's top player for the past decade, who is married to model/actress Brooklyn Decker, won his opening-round match at the Open on Tuesday (29Aug12) - and then announced his plans to hang up his racquet.

He told reporters at a press conference, "I have decided that this is going to be my last tournament (because) I don't know if I'm healthy enough or committed enough to continue another year."

He added, "This (tennis) has been a huge part of my life always. But I don't know that it's always been my entire life. I do feel very confident in the things and the people that I have to fall back on."

The three-time Wimbledon finalist has 32 career Association of Tennis Professionals World Tour titles.

Roddick turned 30 on Thursday (30Aug12).
