It was a heart-breaker alright. 

Andy Roddick lost in the most gut-wrenching fashion possible last year when his serve was finally broken while trailing Roger Federer 14-15 in the fifth set of the 2009 Wimbledon Final. 

Many thought it was Roddick's one final shove towards erasing his place in the game's history books as a "one-slam wonder." 

Losing such a match, he was destined to slowly shy away from the bigger moments, surely losing the motivation to keep reaching Finals only to lose to Federer once again.

Roddick never wavered, he never faltered, and he has done what he said he would do during his post-match interviews after that historic Final—he has stayed the course.

2010 has picked up right where 2009 left off for the No. 1 American.  By far, he posted the most successful hard-court season of any man on tour, reaching back-to-back Finals at Miami and Indian Wells, winning the former.

If Roddick does indeed find that game, he certainly should be the favorite to win the tournament.  And why not?  The only man who seems to beat him when he is on form is Roger Federer.

Here are five reasons why Andy Roddick will win Wimbledon 2010:
