Roddick defends Zverev: "It stinks that his career will be defined by whether he could win a Grand Slam"

Andy Roddick has come to the defense of Alexander Zverev through his podcast Served. Throughout his career, the German tennis player has been criticized for not being able to take a step forward in certain moments and win a Grand Slam or be number one in the world. However, the former American tennis player has decided to praise his trajectory, giving some advice on how to give that extra push needed to reach the top of the ATP rankings, or at least get closer to it.

"It sucks that his whole career is going to be defined by whether he could beat Alcaraz and Sinner two times in a row at a Grand Slam and win one. He is an exceptional player, his career is incredible. If I had to tell him one change in his game... People say he should step more into the court and hit his forehand flatter, but with his technique that's not an option. His backhand is incredible, although he could serve and volley a bit more. Sometimes you have to be aggressive from the first shot, that's what I think," he said about the world number three.
