The former American tennis player confessed the moment when his compatriot criticized his attitude and excuses.
Andy Roddick
Andy Roddick once again shared an interesting reflection in his podcast 'Serve with Andy Roddick', discussing the possible reasons for Carlos Alcaraz's decline in performance in this final stretch of the season: "It seems he is struggling to finish the year, as he is someone who thrives on the energy of the crowd, enjoys the atmosphere, the spectacle, likes to be an artist." He also compared his personality to that of his main rival, Jannik Sinner: "Perhaps Sinner, due to his personality, is more inclined to come in, do his job, and leave. While Carlos may need a bit more inspiration," stated the former world number one.

When it comes to Elena Rybakina, many virtues are praised. Her dominance from the back of the court, the power of her flat shots... and, of course, her serve. To what extent? A voice as respected as Andy Roddick's, on his podcast SERVED, did not hesitate to place it as the best on the women's circuit: "When she's at her best, I think she has the best serve in the world. I don't know if there's a close debate. Maybe Aryna, when serving well, can match it, but Rybakina can hit the four main spots on the serve box, she has the serve on the deuce side, the advantage side... and it's on the same delivery, time and time again". Do you agree with him?

Andy Roddick expressed his opinion once again about the tennis world in his podcast 'Served with Andy Roddick,' where he staunchly defended tennis players in comparison to other athletes: "I believe that tennis players are the best athletes in the world. Five hours and forty minutes playing on the biggest stages. If you compare it to other sports: an NBA game, with air conditioning, with many substitutions and timeouts. It's the greatest challenge I can imagine. The more I watch it, the more I think about it," declared the former world number one in 2003.

The latest complaints from the Serbian regarding the schedule and the inaction of many players have prompted Andy's response, who still does not fully trust the PTPA to represent the players.
As one of the best servers in history, the American appreciated the evolution of the Spanish champion and the rivalry he shares with Jannik Sinner.
The American surprised by pointing out a factor that was glossed over just after the Italian's withdrawal and that, according to him, could cost Carlos dearly.
There are four tennis players who have won a trio of titles throughout history on this same tour, something increasingly unthinkable to see again.
