Pic/Getty images Roddick said: &ldquo;I just feel like it&rsquo;s time. I don&rsquo;t know if I&rsquo;m healthy enough or committed enough to go another year. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always wanted to finish at this event. I&rsquo;ve thought all year that I would know when I got to this tournament and, when I played my first round, I knew. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always, whatever my faults have been, felt like I&rsquo;ve never done anything halfway. It&rsquo;s probably the first time in my career that I can sit here and say I&rsquo;m not sure that I can put everything into it physically and emotionally. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know that I want to disrespect the game by coasting home. I had plans to play a smaller schedule next year but the more I thought about it, I think you&rsquo;ve either got to be all in or not. &ldquo;I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me. I&rsquo;m looking forward to those.&rdquo;u00a0
