One of the most underrated American tennis players of all time. He was an absolute beast out there and would have easily won 7-8 GS tournaments if it wasn't for one man, Roger Federer.
***** Also if he were to be in is prime over the past 6 years or so he might not have a single slam to his name with the "big 4" or "big 3" (what ever you prefer) dominating.
The game evolved to favor movement over power. Movement was the one aspect of the game that Roddick wasn't all that good in. I think with the current courts (including Wimbledon) and the style that Roddick played with would have been tailor made for Djokovic's style. Especially over 5 sets. Wawrinka was able to take out Djokvic because of his great weapons from both wings. Roddick's lack of a real weapon on the backhand side would have been his biggest downfall.
@107563248830932492342 Cilic has never beaten Djokovic in 14 tries and Wawrinka has a far better backhand and is also a better mover than Roddick and despite that he is only 4-21 against Djokovic.
True, people talk shit about Andy but he was a great player. I would love to see him square off with Novak and see how would he cope with those 140+ mph serves on fast surfaces (back in the day)
hellmuth he won e 2003 U.S. open and 32 total career titles, his retired now but he also made 4 other vs finals losing each one to federer. He was a consistent top ten player for 8 years and a half. Hope this helped
I think that the problem is that personalities like these tend to lack in the consistency departement or just simply lack talent, whereas Roddick was a top 10 member for roughly 9 years. He had both the discipline and the talent to compete with the best, it's a shame he had such problems with Federer. I miss Roddick
Erik Nilsson he admired Roger way too much and that affected his competitiveness. He used to beat all other ones in draw and then lose to Roger like he said he tried but can’t not dislike him.
Andy Roddick is an amazing player. Just was unlucky to be born in the same time as the greatest to ever play the game. I'll never forget his fight in the '09 wimbledon final. I wanted it so bad for him
God he's fabulous... best personality on the tour by MILES. Hilarious, completely himself and doesn't care who knows it... GO A-ROD!!!! Wimbledon win is just around the corner!!!
roddick has a great future as a tennis commentator i think - he is VERY intelligent,understands the game and speaks very well. he frustrates me at times but you gotta like this guy. if they gave out awards for post match interviews he would win hands down!
I cried when I saw how hard it was for him to fight back the tears. My heart goes out to him. Can't wait for the us open. Thats when he will beat the jerk
I was once a volunteer driver for a pro tournament where I got to drive Roddick from the court to the hotel. He is 1 super friendly chilled out guy. No ego whatsoever. Of course he had just won a close match but I was told by others he’s generally like that.
I started supporting him because Brad (agassi's ex coach) started coaching him, I carried on supporting him because of his success and he was everything I wanted to be in terms of a tennis player, this includes his work ethic, humility in defeat and his charisma. Good luck Andy, I'm going to miss you.
nice video! great variety! there were parts where i laughed with roddick and there were parts were i laughed at roddick. Not sure which i enjoyed more.
Tennis is NOT THE SAME without you Andy!
I agree
Gone but not forgotten :'(

***** Well only one player can be "the best" and that guy was Roger Federer. In most eras he wouldn't be facing the greatest player of all time.

Andy Roddick, #1 Comedian.
Novak Djokovic, #2 Comedian.
Inexplicablebliss Roddick is funny, Djokovic is both funny and classy at the same time. Kinda hard balance.
Agreed but Roddick is still funnier.
Inexplicablebliss true
Roddick has personality. Got give the guy that.
Andy was always great to watch and cheer for. Yes, he was eclipsed by Federer, but that never diminished him in my eyes.
now i understand how amazing andy was,,,he was always so real
Oh man.....
It's 2014, I will miss this man so much. So funny, charismatic and witty all the time.
And yeah, he was an extraordinary tennis player!
What did he win?
hellmuth he won e 2003 U.S. open and 32 total career titles, his retired now but he also made 4 other vs finals losing each one to federer. He was a consistent top ten player for 8 years and a half. Hope this helped
Grand slam not vs*
2022, almost 2023, and he is still missed
How I wish there was an Andy Roddick personality on tour in 2018.
I think that the problem is that personalities like these tend to lack in the consistency departement or just simply lack talent, whereas Roddick was a top 10 member for roughly 9 years. He had both the discipline and the talent to compete with the best, it's a shame he had such problems with Federer. I miss Roddick

Right. Watching this seriously reminds me how much we're lacking in tennis personalities lol
Very much a legend in his own right.
Andy Roddick will always be remembered.
Mark Brundrett you made it sound like he died
Wow! Andy was so funny and a showman in some cases. I wish there would be tennis player or players like him now.

Andy Roddick is an amazing player. Just was unlucky to be born in the same time as the greatest to ever play the game. I'll never forget his fight in the '09 wimbledon final. I wanted it so bad for him
His interviews are fun to watch. Much better than the dull ones.
Andy RULES!!!

JACK WILLIAMS What a smile! ;-)
I always wanted Roddick to win when he played,and what a funny guy he is.

This is amazing, the game needs more players like him!! WHAT A LEGEND!!!

Coolest sportsman ever! Great sense of humor
Very rare to see an athlete with a sense of humor like this
Those were great! First time seeing these clips
3:57 that was actually pretty cool xD
roddick has a great future as a tennis commentator i think - he is VERY intelligent,understands the game and speaks very well. he frustrates me at times but you gotta like this guy. if they gave out awards for post match interviews he would win hands down!
The Stifler of tennis :D.
Gonna miss his pressers. Enjoy the rest of your life Andy you deserve it man
It's the Stifmeister, baby !
After seeing the video, I appreciate Andy. Good job. Correct impersonation of Andre👍👍
That's why he's my favorite. We need more players with sense of humor
Good thing he's funny, or he'd remind me too much of a the frat guy you avoided in college.
@Karl Pilkington fraternity
Juan Calvo you really replied 5 years later to correct him... typical frat
@@albertknows i mean a year is a good bit too my guy
I love this man. He's definetely got personality...:)
Ah man...I am going to miss this!!
This gives us reasons to love Andy Roddick
'oh,is that the wrong guy?' :D haha!
andy roddick taught the tennis players the real meaning of humor!
I cried when I saw how hard it was for him to fight back the tears. My heart goes out to him. Can't wait for the us open. Thats when he will beat the jerk
"I can sing and dance OOOOOOOO"
most coordinated athlete lol
brilliant what a player and person
Roddick legend
Really gonna miss this guy.
Great to see a tennis player with personality.
Roddick is hilarious... he is going to have a long career as a comentator
I was once a volunteer driver for a pro tournament where I got to drive Roddick from the court to the hotel. He is 1 super friendly chilled out guy. No ego whatsoever. Of course he had just won a close match but I was told by others he’s generally like that.
he is funnier than djokovic
Not as if that's a comparison
GAURAV SINHA So are a lot of things. finding blood on your loo paper for example.
smoog nope ur dad told me the same ,he said ur face n features are that of a mongrel
No
If you mean funny as he's a laughing stock, then you got it right on the money.
Roddick is such a legend. He really is great.
Andy can imitate Andre but Andre got personal with Pete when he did it for fun. Sour grapes much?
Man, i love him so much
He is so fun and adorable
he is the best guy in tennis ever on the court and outside the court and he is a real fair player come on Andy
Seriously the cutest American athlete
his humor is effortless
YES I hope so too! so happy he's in the final!
2:55 The Stifmaster
He's hilarious!
I started supporting him because Brad (agassi's ex coach) started coaching him, I carried on supporting him because of his success and he was everything I wanted to be in terms of a tennis player, this includes his work ethic, humility in defeat and his charisma. Good luck Andy, I'm going to miss you.
I think it's safe to say that tennis needs players like Stifler
Stiffler!
"You smell great!" Don't know why that's so funny, but it got me cracking up.

Now he’s retired I think he should have his own chat show, he’d be brilliant at it.
Terry Allen bro him and roger
