Robert Bradley Kendrick (born November 15, 1979) is an American retired professional tennis player.
He defeated Kevin Kim 6–4, 7–5 in the first round, but lost to eighth seed Vincent Spadea 4–6, 1–6, in his second-round match.
Kendrick played in the Campbell's Hall of Fame Tenis Championships in Newport, Rhode Island.
He made amends for the defeat by winning the doubles title with his Austrian playing partner Jürgen Melzer.
In the final, the duo beat South African Jeff Coetzee and American Justin Gimelstob.
In January at the Australian Open, he drew Rafael Nadal in the first round and lost 6–7, 3–6, 2–6, committing six double faults and having a low percentage of second-serve points won (38%).
134 Juan Pablo Brzezicki of Argentina, again thanks to six double faults and a low percentage of second serve points won (this time, 46%).
While 2007 was largely a lackluster year for Kendrick on the main ATP circuit, he did win three Challenger events: Dallas, Calabasas, and Knoxville.
In Calabasas, Kendrick had to defeat two up-and-coming fellow Americans, John Isner and Donald Young, in the semifinals and finals, respectively.
Kendrick kicked off 2008 by playing in the Australian Open, where he lost in the first round to fellow American Amer Delić, then ranked no.
The ITF also ruled that Kendrick's first-round finish at the 2011 French Open be disqualified, and his ranking points and prize money be taken away.
[4] Kendrick received vocal public support from a number of prominent players, including James Blake, John Isner, and Andy Murray.
In interviews, Blake and Isner specifically contrasted his case with that of Wayne Odesnik, who had just returned to active play after his own suspension for possession of human growth hormone.
