[心得] Andy Roddick threw away
Andy Roddick may have been the most decorated American men’s tennis player
of his generation, but good luck finding the silverware to show for it.
Roddick’s wife, Brooklyn Decker, said the former world No1 decided to throw
away nearly all of his trophies during a recent cleaning spree at the couple’
s home in Austin, Texas.
“We have his US Open trophy,” Decker told People magazine in an interview
published on Wednesday. “But all his other trophies Andy threw away in the
garbage.”
Of all the dumb traditions of Wimbledon, its sexism is the worst

Roddick was 21 when he shot to stardom with his breakthrough win at Flushing
Meadows in 2003 – still the last major singles title won by an American man
– and finished that season atop the ATP rankings. His abrupt retirement
during the 2012 US Open left the United States without an active men’s grand
slam champion for the first time in 129 years, since the inception of what
then was called the US National Championships.
While Roddick never managed to win a second grand slam championship despite
reaching four more finals (and losing to Roger Federer in each of them), the
outspoken Texan won 32 titles and spent nearly a decade in the top 10 during
a 12-year professional career that will see him inducted into the
International Tennis Hall of Fame later this month.
“It was really upsetting,” Decker said of Roddick’s shock decluttering. “
He did it one day when I was out of town. [He] decided that these don’t mean
success to me, these don’t define me and I don’t really care to have these
material things sitting around the house, so he threw them in the trash. I
think he saved a few but they are not on display.”
