Aces High: The Unbreakable Serve of Andy Roddick From brash prodigy to Grand Slam champion, Andy Roddick's story is one of titanic serves, epic rivalries, and a never-say-die spirit. As a young gun from Nebraska, Roddick burst onto the scene with a weapon the world had never seen: a mind-bending serve that could crack windows and demoralize opponents. But power wasn't enough. He battled against his own nerves, the shadow of the great Roger Federer, and the pressure of a nation desperate for a new tennis hero. This book goes beyond the baseline, delving into the man behind the cannonball serve. We witness his rise from small-town kid to global star, the grueling training that turned his arm into a rocket launcher, and the mental battles he fought to conquer doubt and silence his critics. It's a story of triumph and heartbreak: The electrifying victory at the 2003 US Open, where Roddick finally conquered his demons and lifted the trophy on New York's center court.
