Andy Roddick takes a jab at Donald Trump’s tennis prowess
Earlier, the author, Nick Adams, tweeted, “Donald Trump has a more powerful serve than Andy Roddick, a better backhand than Roger Federer, and more swagger than Andre Agassi in his prime. The tennis world needs to spend less time talking about Serena Williams and more time appreciating the greatness of Donald Trump!”
After seeing this, Roddick commented, “You forgot that he’s also fitter than Rafa (Nadal).“

It is worth noting that Roddick had one of the best serves in the world. In 2003, he won his first ever Grand Slam title at the US Open, which, incidentally, was his last ever Grand Slam title. Since then, he had many opportunities but failed to convert them into titles. Particularly, against Roger Federer, he had a horrid time.
Roddick had a tough time against Roger Federer
In terms of head-to-head record against the Swiss Maestro, they faced 24 times against each other and Federer won 21 of those matches. Notably, Roddick faced Federer four times in the Grand Slam finals and lost all of them.

Their first meeting at a Grand Slam final came at Wimbledon in 2004, where the Swiss player won the title in four sets. The very next year, they faced each other once again at the Wimbledon final and the same thing happened with Roddick once again, as Federer won the Championships.
In 2006, they met at the final of the US Open, where Roddick gave Federer a hard time; however, he could not beat Federer. In 2009, Roddick faced Federer for the fourth occasion in a Grand Slam final. This time, he took Federer to the limit, as many considered this final one of the best Wimbledon finals ever. In the fifth set, Federer won 16-14 to get his hands on the trophy once again, leaving Roddick devastated.
