"But I have more faith in you winning Wimbledon than I ever had in myself winning it": Roddick sent Jabeur message after heartbreaking final loss

Tennis star Ons Jabeur came one match shy of winning her maiden Grand Slam title at this year's Wimbledon, and retired ATP pro Andy Roddick shared his sympathy with the Tunisian after her heartbreaking loss.
Jabeur fell to Marketa Vondrousova in the women's singles final, and appeared devastated after the loss. The 28-year old held back tears during her post-match speech, as this was the second consecutive year where she'd finished runner-up at SW 19.
Roddick offers sympathy and expresses faith in Jabeur
Former World No.1 Roddick, who himself had fallen short to Roger Federer in the Wimbledon on more than one occasion, was quick to send condolences to Jabeur after her performance.
“I sent her a message after the final & said ‘If you ever want to chat, I’ve been where you are now. But I have more faith in you winning Wimbledon than I ever had in myself winning it.’ She’s someone I really hope wins a Grand Slam one day,” said Roddick.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024

- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
