"An aggressive reaction to an opinion": Andy Roddick receives expletive laden rant after Carlos Alcaraz' serve criticism on podcast
ATPThursday, 08 February 2024 at 01:00
Andy
Roddick reacted to a speech filled with insults on social media after his
recent assessment of Carlos Alcaraz. The American has a new podcast called “Served
with Andy Roddick,” which airs on YouTube and discusses the current state
of tennis.
In its
first episode, Roddick was joined by journalist Jon Wertheim, discussing
various topics in conventional tennis. During the program, one of the points
they discussed was Alcaraz's performance in recent months. Roddick, renowned as
one of the best servers in history, advised the current world No. 2 to work on
the speed of his serve and average movement.
A user on X
(formerly Twitter) expressed their opinion on Roddick's comments, concluding
that Alcaraz should part ways with Juan Carlos Ferrero and find a new coach.
However, Roddick supported the coach.
"He
[Alcaraz] definitely doesn’t need another coach. JCF [Juan CarIlos
Ferrero] has been amazing. Saying
his serve hasn’t improved doesn’t mean he hasn’t improved. Night and day from
where he was two years ago. They’ve done amazing work."
Insults against Roddick
Roddick's
opinion led him to receive insults from a fan who disagreed with the comments
of the former world No. 1: "God
motherf***ing dammit Andy Roddick, just be motherf***ing honest and admit that
Carlos Alcaraz is too god damn f***ing short to ever have a good serve,” he
wrote.
"Look
Andy Roddick, you need to f***ing stop s**king establishment d**k and admit
that both b**ch a** Nike puppets called motherf***ing Carlos Alcaraz and
motherf***ing Jannik Sinner will never ever be all-time greats given they both
pathetically f***ing have losing h2hs to both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal
who are two generations older than both f***ing Alcaraz and f***ing Sinner.
"Again
Andy Roddick, stop god damn f***ing endorsing affirmative action in tennis and
admit that all of the next gen tennis players s**k like motherf***ing b**ch
a**. The real next king of tennis will not motherf***ing have losing h2hs to
both Djokovic and Nadal."
Without
delving into further arguments, Andy Roddick left a brief message for the
person behind the verbal attack against him: "This seems like an
aggressive reaction to an opinion on a tennis podcast," wrote the 2003 US
Open champion.
