Grand slam winner doing this kind of show, wow we tennis fans are spoiled. Thanks so much dear Mr Andy Roddick. Salute from your fan in Seoul, Korea!!!!
I was just gonna write this but figured someone in the comments might have been quicker. Henin won minimum 1 slam for 5 straight years 2003-07 , maybe he meant to say that, but 7 in total. 5 would elevate swiatek to the heights of sharapova and hingis.
I like to listen to Andy and it comes so easy to him because he was a great player and know what he is talking about especially having an experience playing on professional level.
the happiness I'm feeling with the views bump you guys are getting can't be explained. I've been a fan for a while and always felt you deserved more views. Really really happy that the new format is giving good results. Keep it up guys!
Oh well, but Sinner said that he didn't blame his hip, which wasn't upsetting him, the thing is that you could see him pretty bitter and pissed off in the interview...(I never watch him with such a shitty face) He thought he was going to win, and he deceived himself
Thank you for doing this, Andy! It's an invaluable insight that only someone who played the game on that level could give. It's interesting to suddenly be "reminded", mid-talk, that we're listening to a former number 1, grand slam winner, multiple Winbledon finalist, five Masters 1000 and the list goes on... You deliver the analysis in a professional, detailed, but also humble way, which makes us forget for a second who it is that is talking. Your podcast is a gift to the tennis community, and I am one to spread the word. Keep up with the amazing work!
I find it very strange that some one of Roddick's calibre doing a podcast hasn't blown up yet. Is Tennis such a niche sport? Ex cricket players get millions of followers on their podcast.
Love Andy. He is so humble and is not afraid to bring up his failures against the great Roger Federer. Plus, he is funny and witty. Just subscribed and would watch this channel. I still feel terrible when he lost that 2009 wimbledon even though we all also wanted Roger to win. The most conflicted match I have watched where I wasn't sure at one point who to support.
You are underselling Zverev here. Sunday final is a banger. Has all the tools, in Australia Alcaraz looks bad in hindsight because Zverev served 85%. Hit the crap out of the ball, was standing next to the baseline. Couldn't play his game. Indian Wells suit him like a glove. On the other side it's Zverev worst court. 4 to 5 sets on Sunday, but Alcaras needs that forearm at best or he is losing. At recap please take on: What means to win with meniscus injury Rune Zverev, banger match Sabalenka's matches before being sick; had a 20 something set winning streak in Grand Slams What Swiatek dominating on clay means. These girls all play good. It's underselling what Swiatek does, 1 lost match in best of 3. Way too good
Actually what you're saying about Sinner with his fitness due to the hip, we can also say that carlos was missing a lot of things in this match because he had to stop using his racket for a while and didn't play in a high pressure match since Indian Wells. For me that match was fair and they were even going into this, the difference was made by Carlos taking his chance and not being passive when he saw the finish line around the corner. This kid has that bravery, saw that in the Wimbledon finals, saw that again in the 5th yesterday. Champ!
There is no equivalency when you cannot move vs you cannot hit balls. It's not the same limitation, Roddick said it himself. It's not an apples to apples comparison. Yes, Alcaraz took his chances but with a fully fit Sinner, who knows. But ifs don't exist, Alcaraz won fair and square.
@@samy29987 I see Jannik is starting to have some fans ahah but in my vision I really hope for Sinner that he doesn't think that way because when you're 2 sets to 1 up and you're 2 games away from the end and then in the 5th you're battling until the end. The match was there, the level was even.. It is obvious that sinner in the 4th when he had that look over the finish line he did not go to the next level to clinch it. Carlos in the 5th when he was up he was accepting mistakes, going for his shots and dictating whenever he could. There is no hip in that defeat. The question is "was it possible for sinner to win ? " the answer is obviously yes so then it is all mindset, game plan, bravery..
@@2v437 exactly. at 4-4 in the 4th set, up 2 sets to 1, the match was there for the taking. but alcaraz hung tough while sinner had the easier situation, he just had to keep his serve to force a tie-break. he faltered. thats a mental thing. also, once behind in the beginning of the 5th set, he hung with alacaraz all the way till the end.
I don't want to start another "Cybotch Veildsh" controversy, but every time you pronounced Paolini "Payolini" my heart sank a little bit. Refusing to pronounce a German name with a Portuguese inflection is one thing, but americanizing a beautiful Italian name hurts... ;)
I endorse this rant. And Im brazilian, I dont care how he pronounces wild, but Paolini sound terribe when pronounced Peyolini. Sorry Andy, keep up with your great work, we love you!
Thank you for doing this. Please do not change. It’s awesome to hear about tennis from someone who knows about it. You down play your accomplishments but you were awesome. Again thank you all for doing this.
To add to the hip issue … Sinner apparently had an illness during the 2/3 weeks leading up to the French too … in bed for a lot of that … which would for sure hurt the cardio at that level too… not to discredit Carlos though, he’s a boss ! 💪🏻 great rivalry ✔️🎾
Love this podcast - entertaining, edifying, fun! One correction from the ep today: Henin won 7 slams, not 5. (As a big Henin fan I felt compelled to correct!)
I think Paolini played really good match against Rybakina, in my opinion much better then Andrea vs Sabalenka, as Aryna was not feeling good. I'm not saying that Andreeva is not good, she is grat talent but her advancing to semi was a bit of luck. I still think Sinner would beat Alcaraz if he will be 100% healthy. The first set from Sinner was just too good, Alcaraz was totally lost. Taking into consideration that Zverev is in good shape, he really has a chance to win.
I'm picking Alcarez and Iga for the French. I'm picking Zverev and Screamalenka for Wimbledon. I'm picking Medvedev and Iga for US Open. I'm picking Nastase for nicest audience member.
My go-to for tennis news and analysis now. Andy bringing great value to viewers from recent player perspective. Love the tactical and execution breakdowns. Keep it up Served gang!
Y'all spoil us with this content!!! It's Friday evening you had no business doing this it's so great! Now go get some Olipop based cocktails :) Speaking of sponsor tie ins... I think Andy mentioned he got some Wilson grips with "Let 'er Rip tater chip" printed on them...any word if those will be publicly available soon? :)
ahhhh no fail, gold Andy! ❤❤❤ Iga Carlitos are spot on choices esp Carlitos. Dverev has no right get his success after that legal case settled against the victim.
@@samy29987 Even though Sinner was struggling during the 3rd set he won it. Then, in the 4th and 5th sets Carlos came back while Simmer didn't show any more signs of cramping.. Did you watch the match ?
Exactly what I tell baseball players. You have to hit balls coming at you triple digits and move in multiple directions to get to it. The more proper analogy is you have a racket and can instantly morph from a hitter to a fielder IE getting back a defensive or neutralizing shot. A baseball player would hit .085 with that mentality and a pro tennis player would lose every match. What really makes tennis the all around hardest is you have to develop a wide array of skills and techniques to be a world class player. I'd bet you could teach a Randy Johnson or Aldos Chapman to serve in the 140s and have a crazy slice serve in a few months hitting 100 per day but would they have the other skill requirements to be good at tennis? And then the endurance factor and mental aspect of keeping your game level for hours and a couple of weeks to win a major that's mind boggling.
I'm hoping for Alcaraz/Iga title. I just think it would be pretty funny for the generation in between the big 3 and sinner/alcaraz to have no slams. (Besides mev's US)
Love it! Great insight from a champion like Andy 🙏 just an outside question, does anyone know similar contents for football (or soccer as they call in US)? I’d love to hear from ex pros explaining about the game. Thank you!
Always found Andy's personality so entertaining during press conferences. He's the perfect guy for this podcast, and SERVED is also a great name coming from him.
I agree. We dont mind accents but we do expect a bit of effort in finding out how to pronounce a player’s name properly. . The “Pao” rhymes with “How” We care and sometimes we cant listen properly to what youre saying. Sorry Andy. You actually have good content
Andy did you think at 2-1 and 4-5 30-15 Sinner serving get a high bouncing ball aprox 10ft from the net, Sinner lets it bounce hits the smash just out! so instead of 40-15 its 30-30 pressure now on Sinner instead of it then 5-5 its set over! Do you think that miss affected his mind set? Also thought Sinner serve was very inconsistent first 55% but worse was he never found it when he really needed it where as I thought Alcaraz found his first serve when he needed it! Just also like your insight as a former great pro! You can relate to the players situations love your analysis!
Every ‘expert’ chose Sinner - not me baby! And I copped a lot of flack. He has major joint issues being that thin. His ankles were strapped along with his hip and clay isn’t his natural favourite surface
21:49 Youngest *man*. You were talking about Carlos and Iga, then the next second saying Carlos was the youngest to win a major on all three surfaces and to reach number one, when several women did so younger, then talking about Iga and Carlos again. So in that context, important to specify because there are a lot of folks out there unable to pick that up…
Zverev has definitely been the dark horse throughout the tournament. Love Alcaraz but Zverev has been growing on me since his injury. Rooting for an epic final. Either winner is okay with me :)
Andy I love the idea of getting some actions videos trying to replicate what these guys do today on court. I agree unless one plays at least recreationally people have absolutely no ideia how Insane hard the game is . Only someone like you to bring reality and perspective . Love the sincere chat and nerdy analysis . Keep it up ! 🙌🙌🙌
So much for consensus as this was a great match with very high levels from both players. It is harder to get into tiebreakers in a clay court match because it is the least serve dominant surface. It may not have quite had the twist and turns, but the match was a tour de force. Both players dealt with minor cramping that did not noticeably affect play. I won't call it one of the greatest matches of all time as I suspect Sinner later in the match (as he stated) wasn't quite 100% with the hip which agrees with Andy's take. For absolute level this was by far the best Alcaraz versus Sinner match so far; it was electric.
@@miketomlin6040 Tennis land must be a swamp infested with Big3 sycophants. I'm happy to have Andy Roddick on my side. Enjoying the fools on twitter or where do you ingest this swill? I'd really like to know. The classic intelligence test: If you think their earlier matches were better or higher "quality", you need to reevaluate how you watch tennis. Compare them point to point side by side and there is no comparison as both players have improved considerably (especially Sinner). Zverev at this point is very highly under rated on clay. ARod was over the moon on the final in his latest video.
As much as my heart says and wants Sascha to win this badly for everything he has been through over last few years after coming so close to winning a slam , my brain is saying Carlos will win it in 4 sets :/
It's going to be a super tough match, I predict It the same day the draw appeared... Alcaraz wants to take the revenge to the fact that Zverev won Nadal, spaniards are like that.
Oh come on Andy, understand that you want to keep interest in the game but the statement that sinner and alcaraz are at the same level as prime roger rafa and novak is ridiculous. If any of those three were in that match yesterday in their prime it would of been 3-0 comfortably. No one who watched that match would think any otherwise.
Hi Roddick great podcast (I am a tennis youtuber myself) and love tennis and have watched this beautiful sport over 30 years (I am in your age) love watching your show as well you have tennis knowledge that's for sure. Not only are you a Grand Slam champion, and a former world number one, you also have huge tennis knowledge which is really fun to hear, and watch. However, I have to correct you about one thing you were never 2 points away from winning that epic Wimbledon final in 2009 against Roger. Of course you weren't far away and you gave Federer a hell of a run for his money, and had a huge lead in that second set tie-break with 6-2 where Roger won 6 straight points and finally won that second set tie-break 8-6. And you had 2 break points in that 8-8 game in the fifth set where Roger saves both, with big first serves in one of the break points, and the other with a drive forehand volley after landing a big first serve in the second break point as well which he saved both of them, more or less with huge first serves. Of course you were not far away from winning this epic final. Arguably the closest you came to winning against Roger in all 3 Wimbledon finals you lost to him. However, you were never 2 points away from winning this Wimbledon final in 2009, you were significantly far more away than that because Roger Federer served first all the time in that fifth, and deciding set. So just wanted to correct you on your claim that you were 2 points away from winning the Wimbledon final in 2009 because that was certainly not the case my friend. Cheers😉
Wow, amazing podcast, some of the comment being super technical but what can you expect from a former champion… Alcaraz in full flight will be very hard to beat.I would just hope he did not have to grunt like a cave man all the time. Hopefully at some point they will put some rules in place to reduce that issue that is rightfully hated by many As a prediction for the match I think either Alcaraz in three (more likely) or Zverev in five
Andy, you have the 09 wimbledon backwards. You outplayed him all day, you won your sets by breaking, he scraped out tiebreaks and only broke you on the last point of the match. It was the inverse of what happened to Roger 10 years later. I hope you're just being humble and polite.
It!s alright to predict wrong Andy. Shows that spinprofile is VERY importent, and Iga as you rigtly says are help with with her western"t grip agains P ieolinis beautifull forhand .-But I don"t think she will be nerves so much, and she will move like hell quick .
I love these recaps. Please do this for every major!!
This continues to be my favorite pod. Andy is so knowledgeable and entertaining. Love these pop up pods. Please continue to do them.
I could listen to you talk about tennis all day long, I saw you here in Washington DC playing the City Open, great stuff.
This Podcast screams for Q&A episodes
Really surprised Ruud played as limply as he did.
Andreeva really kind of choked a bit. Sinner Alcaraz was an amazing match. No one can stop Iga
Ruud was ill during the match with stomach issues. Sinneraz💯
Andreva will beat Paolin? 😅😅😅😅
"... and if you did, tough shit" - fuken LOVE this podcast
Grand slam winner doing this kind of show, wow we tennis fans are spoiled. Thanks so much dear Mr Andy Roddick. Salute from your fan in Seoul, Korea!!!!
Best tennis podcast istg
One mistake, Justine Henin has 7 grand slams.
I guess he had it mixed up with Hingis' numbers
I was just gonna write this but figured someone in the comments might have been quicker.
Henin won minimum 1 slam for 5 straight years 2003-07 , maybe he meant to say that, but 7 in total.
5 would elevate swiatek to the heights of sharapova and hingis.

You are underselling Zverev here. Sunday final is a banger. Has all the tools, in Australia Alcaraz looks bad in hindsight because Zverev served 85%. Hit the crap out of the ball, was standing next to the baseline. Couldn't play his game. Indian Wells suit him like a glove. On the other side it's Zverev worst court. 4 to 5 sets on Sunday, but Alcaras needs that forearm at best or he is losing.
At recap please take on:
What means to win with meniscus injury
Rune Zverev, banger match
Sabalenka's matches before being sick; had a 20 something set winning streak in Grand Slams
What Swiatek dominating on clay means. These girls all play good. It's underselling what Swiatek does, 1 lost match in best of 3. Way too good

There is no equivalency when you cannot move vs you cannot hit balls. It's not the same limitation, Roddick said it himself. It's not an apples to apples comparison.
Yes, Alcaraz took his chances but with a fully fit Sinner, who knows. But ifs don't exist, Alcaraz won fair and square.

Carlos too was cramping and that was probably the reason he lost the 3rd set to Sinner. Either of them could easily have won, this time, Alcaraz won.

Wide consensus today Sinner-Alcaraz match was relatively poor, for them. Or at least the first three sets. Very few 'exciting' rallies.
So much for consensus as this was a great match with very high levels from both players. It is harder to get into tiebreakers in a clay court match because it is the least serve dominant surface. It may not have quite had the twist and turns, but the match was a tour de force. Both players dealt with minor cramping that did not noticeably affect play. I won't call it one of the greatest matches of all time as I suspect Sinner later in the match (as he stated) wasn't quite 100% with the hip which agrees with Andy's take. For absolute level this was by far the best Alcaraz versus Sinner match so far; it was electric.
@@meles3740 You won't find many in Tennis Land, or any, agreeing with you. Hopefully the final is more of a ''classic''.
@@miketomlin6040 Tennis land must be a swamp infested with Big3 sycophants. I'm happy to have Andy Roddick on my side. Enjoying the fools on twitter or where do you ingest this swill? I'd really like to know. The classic intelligence test: If you think their earlier matches were better or higher "quality", you need to reevaluate how you watch tennis. Compare them point to point side by side and there is no comparison as both players have improved considerably (especially Sinner).
Zverev at this point is very highly under rated on clay. ARod was over the moon on the final in his latest video.
Zverev has no chance.. Alcaraz in 3 lopsided sets..
Rodick right Jesus comes back soon tho
As much as my heart says and wants Sascha to win this badly for everything he has been through over last few years after coming so close to winning a slam , my brain is saying Carlos will win it in 4 sets :/
It's going to be a super tough match, I predict It the same day the draw appeared... Alcaraz wants to take the revenge to the fact that Zverev won Nadal, spaniards are like that.
Oh come on Andy, understand that you want to keep interest in the game but the statement that sinner and alcaraz are at the same level as prime roger rafa and novak is ridiculous. If any of those three were in that match yesterday in their prime it would of been 3-0 comfortably. No one who watched that match would think any otherwise.
Andy…get this PAUlini…..not Paylini!!
Andy, we need to see you on video trying those sliding forehand passes
Love you mate! But...who is "PEolini"? It's "PAolini". :)
You had Paolini 2nd Round Mr Roddick
Hi Roddick great podcast (I am a tennis youtuber myself) and love tennis and have watched this beautiful sport over 30 years (I am in your age) love watching your show as well you have tennis knowledge that's for sure.
Not only are you a Grand Slam champion, and a former world number one, you also have huge tennis knowledge which is really fun to hear, and watch.
However, I have to correct you about one thing you were never 2 points away from winning that epic Wimbledon final in 2009 against Roger. Of course you weren't far away and you gave Federer a hell of a run for his money, and had a huge lead in that second set tie-break with 6-2 where Roger won 6 straight points and finally won that second set tie-break 8-6.
And you had 2 break points in that 8-8 game in the fifth set where Roger saves both, with big first serves in one of the break points, and the other with a drive forehand volley after landing a big first serve in the second break point as well which he saved both of them, more or less with huge first serves.
Of course you were not far away from winning this epic final. Arguably the closest you came to winning against Roger in all 3 Wimbledon finals you lost to him.
However, you were never 2 points away from winning this Wimbledon final in 2009, you were significantly far more away than that because Roger Federer served first all the time in that fifth, and deciding set.
So just wanted to correct you on your claim that you were 2 points away from winning the Wimbledon final in 2009 because that was certainly not the case my friend.
Cheers😉
Love your podcast 🤝
Alcaraz also had cramps in the forearm in the 3rd
love this! pop ups are perfect!!!
Wow, amazing podcast, some of the comment being super technical but what can you expect from a former champion…
Alcaraz in full flight will be very hard to beat.I would just hope he did not have to grunt like a cave man all the time. Hopefully at some point they will put some rules in place to reduce that issue that is rightfully hated by many
As a prediction for the match I think either Alcaraz in three (more likely) or Zverev in five
Andy, you have the 09 wimbledon backwards. You outplayed him all day, you won your sets by breaking, he scraped out tiebreaks and only broke you on the last point of the match. It was the inverse of what happened to Roger 10 years later.
I hope you're just being humble and polite.
It!s alright to predict wrong Andy. Shows that spinprofile is VERY importent, and Iga as you rigtly says are help with with her western"t grip agains P ieolinis beautifull forhand .-But
I don"t think she will be nerves so much, and she will move like hell quick .
