J.C. Roddick continues family success with win at Jr. Orange Bowl tennis

Roddick, nephew of tennis star Andy Roddick, won two matches Wednesday at the Jr.

Lawrence Roddick has spent many a day at the Jr.

Orange Bowl tennis tournament.

Wednesday, he was at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center at the University of Miami, watching intently as his 13-year-old son J.C.

Lawrence is the only one of the three Roddick brothers who did not play tennis.

Everyone in the Roddick family knows, from watching Andy’s climb to No.

Asked what Uncles Andy and John, the tennis coach at University of Oklahoma, think of J.C.’s future, Lawrence smiled.

“Andy and John played at such a high level, and are so accustomed to that level, that they can’t really tell if a 13-year-old kid is going to be good,” Lawrence said.

J.C., who defeated Preston Brown 6-7 (5-7) 6-4, 6-2 in his second match Wednesday, played in the Jr.
