NEW YORK _ Andy Roddick remains on track to return at the ATP event in San Jose in two weeks, even though he says he hasn't hit a tennis ball since hurting his right hamstring in the second round of the Australian Open.
Roddick said yesterday that an exam showed a partial tear in the tendon after he hurt his leg in the January 19 match against Australia's Lleyton Hewitt. Roddick, who turns 30 in August, was hurt in the second set and took a medical timeout. He then played 16 more games before retiring. ``It's a concern,'' Roddick said. ``I haven't hit a ball since Australia. We've just been working on different types of treatment trying to get it right. The MRI came back probably not as good as we were hoping. I'm hoping to be hitting balls next Monday.''
