Andy Roddick, former US Open champion and former American professional sat down with the New York Post in a Question and Answers session where he talked about the inclusion of Serena Williams at this year’s US Open and opened up about his thoughts on her retirement that she announced recently.

Andy Roddick said, “Obviously it’s gonna be all things Serena [Williams] as long as she’s in the tournament, and rightfully so. I would love nothing more than for her to kinda give us a thrill in that first week, but it’s gonna be a weird scenario with that, just like every match could be her last. Mine was a blip on the radar but I kind of loved that in 2012 when I retired during the tournament.”

“I loved it. I hope she can kind of enjoy the innocent parts of it along the way ’cause there’s obviously gonna be a huge hype mechanism around it. How Coco Gauff does I think is gonna be a big deal … she’s kinda progressed, but we’re waiting for that huge breakout. On the men’s side, electric young guy to watch is Carlos Alcaraz. I think he’s gonna win multiple Grand Slams,” Roddick added further

Serena Williams left the tennis world stunned with the announcement that she will be retiring from the sport after playing through the final tournament of her career at this year’s US Open.
