US tennis star Andy Roddick lost in the first round of the China Open on Monday despite being seeded sixth in the tournament. After being asked how close he might be to retiring, Roddick rolled his eyes and told the reporter "I think you should retire" before walking out of the press conference to a round.
Roddick received a round of applause for his response to the reporter, and now disputes on his Twitter account that the reporter's question was the reason for him walking out:
