"That was where my jealousy came from" - Roddick on the brilliance of Federer

Andy Roddick spoke about his admiration for Roger Federer in a recent podcast and he explained what made him jealous of him as a player.

“It’s his ease of operation, right he if the way that he is able to go about his business. I would play a practice match, be out there for two hours, I’d play it just like I was gonna play three days later in the front of a slam and I’d walk by roger’s court and he is laughing and joking and he is relaxed, that was where my jealousy came in."

He added:

“I just always hear this thing where people say they hate to lose, they hate to lose, I just can’t stand losing. I honestly just enjoy winning, more than I hate losing.”
