RODDICK – SERENA IS GOAT

Former world number one Andy Roddick has heaped praises on Serena Williams, regarding her as one of the greatest athlete of all time.


Roddick compared the American tennis star to the likes of boxing legend Muhammad Ali and Basketball retired star Michael Jordan.

Serena breezed to the finals of the 2017 Australian Open, defeating her sister 6-4, 6-4 to lift the title for the seventh time – a record time in the Grand Slam tournament. Her victory helped her move past Steffi Graf for the most Grand Slam titles in the open era.

The 35-year old relentless star overtook former world number one Angelique Kerber as she sailed to her 23rd Slam. She is just one shy of equalling Margaret Court’s 24 Grand Slam record – the most titles by a single player in the history of the sport.

“It’s amazing. I’ve known Serena since we were 8 or 9 years old. To see her go from the girl I used to practise next to all the time to become this icon – and not just one of the greatest women athletes of all time, but one of the greatest athlete of all time, it’s amazing,” Roddick said in his interview with ESPN.

RODDICK COMMENTS ON HIS GREATEST OF ALL TIME STATUS

Back in his day, former tennis player Andy Roddick was a remarkable tennis player as his numerous wins secured him a spot in the history of tennis.


Ever since his retirement, the former star has proceeded to become an enthusiast in the history of the sport as he follows all the recent happenings with close interest.

Roddick remains to this very day, the last American player to emerge as a winner of a singles grand slam title, the retiree made a much-anticipated return to Forest Hills back in August 9, the city in which he achieved the greatest triumph of his career. He returned to participate in the world team tennis tournament for Patrick McEnroe, former Davis Cup ex captain.

When asked about the current state of the sport he loved, Roddick had quite a lot to say. Regarding Novak Djokovic’s place in history, he said the 34-year old’s record of 17 grand slam titles simply goes to record him as the greatest of all time. However, that statement is fluid seeing as Andy Murray has recently unseated Djokovic in the just concluded 2016 season. Read more »

Nick Kyrgios is another Andy Roddick

It’s not totally disagreeable when people say Nick Kyrgios is another Andy Roddick. You can notice resemblance.


The hot tempered attitude of the Aussie and also, his talent, both resemble with the tall American.

And that is why one would think that having been a sort of uncontrolled talent himself in his young days, Roddick would be the first one to understand someone like Kyrgios and defend his ways.

But, the 33-year old has actually slammed Kyrgios for reacting bizarrely to the media questions recently in England.

Roddick believes when players cross the line in terms of their language and that too while speaking to the match officials, they can’t expect that they wouldn’t be questioned about it when they face the reporters at the end of the day.

Roddick says he himself was someone who would cross the line in some of the matches, but, after such matches, he was prepared for the questions. He never walked to the conference room thinking nobody would be picking him up on it and seeking an answer. It’s within the rights of the reporters to ask the questions. The players can’t be pissing off.

Recently, during Wimbledon, Kyrgios rudely disagreed to the chief match official regarding one of his decisions and cursed him too and later when he was asked about it, he reacted as if it was not such a big thing and opined that each and every person in the world curse. Read more »

When asked about Roddick and how she thinks he would be as a father, Brooklyn was all praise for her husband.

In her words, “Andy is brilliant you know. I am yet to meet a cleverer person than him. His sense of humour and the way he manages to keep himself so calm, it’s amazing and I haven’t got even the slightest of doubts in my mind that he would be equally good as father too.”

Brooklyn also praised Roddick for helping her improve fitness wise.

The actress said, “After getting married to Andy, I have learnt a lot in terms of fitness. He knows a thing or two regarding how to be in proper shape. He is helping me a lot at the moment. He keeps telling me that getting slim is not the most important thing. What’s important is to make sure that you are fit enough to endure all the adversities that your body might have to go through.” Read more »
