Filed under: News, Sports News
After a 12 year tennis career, Justin Gimelstob said goodbye to the sport of tennis at the US Open.
Justin Gimelstob went out laughing though, showing a lot of character in his loss to 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick in round one of the US Open tennis tournament.
Justin Gimelstob said:
“Obviously, I would have liked to have done better, but I’m fine with leaving the game.”
When Justin Gimelstob was asked what the high point of his career was he said:
“Just a lot of averageness. One record I have is that I’m 5-0 in five-set matches at the U.S. Open. I’m proud of that, considering that I usually cramp in the second.”
Justin Gimelstob and Roddick took over the microphone after the match and jokingly interviewed each other, with Justin Gimelstob saying to Roddick:
“What do you think was the key to the match — besides you being way better than me?”
