Wimbledon loser Andy Roddick has pulled out of the Davis Cup quarterfinals due to a right hip flexor injury he suffered during his match against Roger Federer on Sunday.

Roddick has played in 18 consecutive Davis Cup matches for his country and his team is wishing him a quick recovery.

“Andy has been a stalwart for this team the past nine years, and his dedication to Davis Cup and his teammates is unquestioned,” U.S. captain Patrick McEnroe said.

Roddick deserves a little rest after his epic match with Federer at Wimbledon. He will be replaced by Mardy Fish.
