Andy Murray says Andy Roddick’s deal with ESPN is ‘a great deal for tennis’
Murray, replying to ESPN’s post, said: “This is a great deal for tennis. Andy is absolutely brilliant on his podcast.
“Great knowledge of the game, well researched, speaks well, loves tennis, good fun, enjoys a debate, and my god, tennis needs way more of that on its broadcasts.”
Roddick, the last American male winner of a Grand Slam singles title, has become a popular figure in tennis media since retiring from his playing career in 2012.
The American is the host of the ‘Served’ podcast: a platform on which he has interviewed the likes of Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer.
Roddick is also an individual who has proven that he is not afraid to speak his mind, as demonstrated by his recent comments regarding the Dubai Tennis Championships director’s statement suggesting that Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek should be docked ranking points after withdrawing from the UAE event.
“Simply, I’m always just a massive fan of tennis,” Roddick said, as per ESPN.
“I’m very excited to join the ESPN tennis team and look forward to covering the two biggest tournaments in the world.”
