It looks like Andy Roddick suffered more than a bruised ego during his loss to Roger Federer at this year’s Wimbledon finals. If you saw the match, you’ll know that Roddick seemed to give everything he had in his attempt to win the tournament and now it appears that he suffered an injury to his right hip flexor in the process. The picture below is from the match so you have to wonder if this was the moment when he hurt himself. Either way, he never let it show and he fought a great battle.

Unfortunately, the injury has caused him to withdraw from the U.S. Davis Cup team’s quarterfinal in Croatia. He has represented the United States at the event in 18 consecutive Davis Cup matches and played a role in the country winning the 2007 title.
The U.S. Tennis Association announced that he will be replaced by Mardy Fish.
