Roddick wants to end the year as No1
13 April 2012
Andy Roddick demonstrated his determination to end the year as No1 in the world by defeating Spain's Carlos Moya 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 at the seasonending ATP Masters Cup in Houston.
Although the event is still in the roundrobin stage, the American's victory was enough to make sure he could not be overhauled in the world rankings by Wimbledon champion Roger Federer. It is now a straight fight between 21-yearold Roddick and French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero, of Spain.
"It's good to get the first one under your belt," Roddick said. "It keeps it from being an uphill battle, especially with the race for No1 being so close."
