"An aggressive reaction to an opinion": Andy Roddick receives expletive laden rant after Carlos Alcaraz' serve criticism on podcast

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."

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.

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.
