It was the year 2003. With the likes of Andre Agassi nearing the end of their illustrious careers, responsibility fell onto the shoulders of young tennis stars like Andy Roddick to maintain the domination. At the US Open that year, the top seed, Agassi, bowed out in the semifinals. It was up to Roddick to carry American hopes. He didn’t disappoint, as the big-serving American defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero to win his maiden Grand Slam title. Now, on the 20th anniversary of his historic win, Roddick’s ex-girlfriend, Mandy Moore, talked about his superlative efforts.
Moore and Roddick began dating in 2003 after meeting on the set of a rom-com. However, one year after the American legend’s historic US Open triumph, the couple called it quits. Here’s what Moore had to say about her ex.
