Origin
and identity

Andy Roddick used an explosive service motion and forceful forehand to establish himself at the top, then kept refining the rest of his game.

Following Sampras and Agassi brought unusually high American expectations. Roddick's 2003 US Open championship and world No. 1 ranking gave them an immediate, substantial answer.

Federer repeatedly blocked his path in major finals. Roddick responded by improving fitness, positioning and variety, leaving a career distinguished by persistence as well as obvious serving power.
