===2005: Second Wimbledon final=== [[File:Andy Roddick SAP Open 2005 001.jpg|thumb|right|Roddick on his way to the first tournament win of 2005]] Roddick's first 2005 tournament victory was the [[SAP Open]] in [[San Jose, California]], where he became the first to win the event in consecutive years since [[Mark Philippoussis]] in 1999 and 2000. The top-seeded Roddick defeated [[Cyril Saulnier]] in 50 minutes, the event's first championship shutout set since [[Arthur Ashe]] beat [[Guillermo Vilas]] in 1975. In March, he defeated No. 7 [[Carlos Moyá]]. In April, Roddick won the U.S. Men's Claycourt Championships, reclaiming the title he won in 2001 and 2002. (He lost in 2003 to Agassi, and in 2004 to [[Tommy Haas]].) At the [[Italian Open (tennis)|Rome Masters]] in May, Roddick had match point in the round of 16 against Spain's [[Fernando Verdasco]]. Verdasco was attempting to save the [[Match point (tennis)|match point]] on his second serve, when the [[Official (tennis)|linesman]] erroneously called the serve out. If this call had held, Roddick would have won the match. Roddick motioned to the umpire, pointing to the clear ball mark on the clay indicating that the ball was in, and the call was consequently changed. Verdasco went on to win the match. At the [[2005 French Open – Men's singles|2005 French Open]], Roddick lost to unseeded Argentine [[José Acasuso]] in the second round, and at Wimbledon, Roddick lost to Federer in the final for the second consecutive year. In August, he defeated No. 3 [[Lleyton Hewitt]] at the [[Western & Southern Financial Group Masters|Masters Series tournament in Cincinnati]]. At the [[2005 US Open – Men's singles|US Open]], Roddick was defeated by No. 70 [[Gilles Müller]] in the first round. Roddick's most recent US Open first-round loss had been in 2000. At the [[Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon]], Roddick defeated [[Gaël Monfils]] to wrap up a tournament without losing a set or getting his serve broken.
