“We are tremendously excited to sign a player of Alex’s level,” Roddick said. “He is going to be a great asset on this team and we really look forward to having him as part of the Sooner family.”

Ghilea has a current ATP ranking of 1,024. He has been climbing the ATP ranks in recent years . In 2010, his year-end ATP ranking was 1,361. By the end of 2011, he climbed to 1,176. His current ATP ranking is another 152 spots higher in the rankings.
