"I never talked about it"

"I have suffered from different types of skin cancer since I stopped playing. I had a squamous cell tumor removed from my lip five or six years ago, I never talked about it", says Roddick.

During his speech, he advised tennis players to protect themselves well from UV rays. Their exposure to the latter must be taken seriously according to him.
