Shanghai Slate

Why isn't Andy Roddick in this Tennis Masters Cup photo? http://www.masters-cup.com/3/media/2008.asp?

He's there in Shanghai and slated to play Andy Murray tomorrow.
The question isn't WHETHER HE QUALIFIED, the question is regarding the photo I linked.

I thought he is. Andy Roddick - This pick probably won't be greeted too warmly, but I just don't see any better options. Roddick still has arguably the biggest serve in tennis and that alone should deliver him a few hardcourt titles and another strong showing at Wimbledon. And don't overreact about his loss to Kohlschreiber at the Australian; Roddick played amazing. Kohlschreiber simply put on a performance for the ages.

Roddick did not have an unbelievable year, but with Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray hogging so many available points, the American accumulated more than enough points to qualify. He had not mathematically clinched a spot prior to Paris, but he was close. A quarterfinal appearance cemented Roddick’s place in Shanghai with room to spare. Roddick was mostly disappointing at the Grand Slams, however, so he will want to end the season by showing he can still win the big tournaments and beat the top players in the world (as he did in Miami and Dubai).

He graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in textile design and naturally got his start in the design world by working in the fashion business. He began his career as an intern at DKNY, then moved on to become the head colorist for a silk mill specializing in neckwear collections for designers including: Bill Blass; Oscar De la Renta; Calvin Klein and DKNY. These experiences led to the creation of his own neckwear collection, soon followed by the thomaspaul pillow collection, which launched in 2001. The pillows, made from the silk tie fabrics were an instant hit. Since then, the line steadily expanded into other categories, such as: tabletop; stationery; rugs; lighting; fabrics and art!
