Roddick's consistency paved path to pantheon of greats

Andy Roddick won the US Open, reached the Wimbledon final three times and was a fixture in the top 10 for much of his career.

Still, the American didn't think his induction in the International Tennis Hall of Fame was a sure thing.

"It's not something I thought I was entitled to," Roddick said on Tuesday at the Australian Open. "I'm not a shoo-in like Roger (Federer) or Serena (Williams) or anyone like that, so I certainly appreciate it."
