Title: Roddick on clay

Ive just noticed he has won 5 clay titles compared to 3 on grass, so how come people say he is useless on clay?

Would the bulk of those clay titles come on green amreican clay as opposed to the slow red dirt? This is why I and many say he is useless on clay coz he really is useless on it.I will however make note that he had an excellent chance I think in his first outing to the French Open.Against Lleyton Hewitt he slipped and twisted his ankle in that match and it was sad to see him go out like that.I felt he couldve really done well that year!

He did cry and it was sad coz I believed he had a chance that outing to RG...That lone incident seems to have jinxed him at the French coz his record is less than desirable there!
