Send us a text

In this week’s episode, Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim discuss Novak Djokovic's trip to Argentina to play Juan Martín del Potro in a special retirement/exhibition match. They also dive into Carlos Alcaraz’s two exhibition matches in the U.S.—one in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the other at Madison Square Garden in New York. Andy shares his experience of watching Alcaraz in an exhibition format and makes the case for off-season exhibition matches despite the criticism in the era of fighting against more tour-sanctioned matches. 

In our recent Fan Q&A episode (linked below), our friend Basil Rudawsky shared a story about his old Wilson Sledgehammer, and Andy’s suggestion was to bury the racket. Today, Andy reacts to Basil following through on that advice while he waits to receive his new Wilson Shift racket. What’s the old racket you just can’t bring yourself to part with?
