Andy Roddick kissed Wimbledon Centre Court farewell on Saturday, but the ‘alpha male’ of American tennis refused to reveal whether it meant goodbye for good. Three-time Wimbledon runner-up Roddick suffered a second successive third round exit at the All England Club, losing 2-6, 7-6 (10/8), 6-4, 6-3 to Spanish seventh seed David Ferrer. But it was his parting gesture which was the talking point. The 29-year-old, who came into the tournament on the back of a 31st career title in Eastbourne, applauded all four sides of the court, blowing a kiss to the fans, many of whom would have witnessed his three agonising final defeats to Roger Federer in 2004, 2005 and 2009.
