Andy Roddick is a true Roger Federer fan and there is no doubt about it. As Federer’s Amazon Prime docuseries released yesterday, his old pal Roddick couldn’t help but join the emotional detour of his retirement journey. Taking his affection for Federer to the next step, Roddick further thinks about how Federer’s upcoming project should have a “cash register” as its soundtrack.

In Tennis Channel’s podcast, host Steve Weissman had a conversation with Eugenie Bouchard and Andy Roddick where they talked about many things including the docuseries Federer: Twelve Final Days, his retirement, and Federer’s exciting shoot with Zendaya for advertisement. Expressing his towering hope for Federer’s upcoming project, his colleague and American former ATP star Andy Roddick left the fraternity in awe with his compliment. “Yeah I’m watching this and I think the soundtrack should be a cash register coz someone is making some cash on this Steve Weissman. These two superstars don’t show up for nothing.”

Here, Roddick referred to Federer’s latest promotional shoot with the Challengers actress for On. Last Thursday, media spotted Federer shooting with Zendaya. The duo were spotted playing tennis on the tennis court in front of On’s Zurich headquarters.

It has not been even a whole month since Zendaya collaborated with this Swiss activewear brand for the brand’s debut creative campaign, Dream Together. In this campaign, On will try to showcase an amalgamation of sports and movements bringing people closer.

On the other hand, Federer has been On’s brand ambassador since their partnership in 2020. Since then, On has brought many shoes branded on Federer and received a heck load of positive responses from the media. Following Zendaya’s inclusion, the fraternity was waiting for the Swiss former tennis legend to collaborate with her and the day is nearby.

Federer and Zendaya’s collaboration already brought a lot of excitement among fans. Now, Roddick’s comment added more fuel to the spirit, bringing high hopes for Federer’s upcoming project’s success. However, if you are a true Andy Roddick fan, then you might know that this former American tennis player has been very respectful of the Swiss former world’s number one ATP star.

Despite accepting his insecurity, Andy Roddick revealed he loved Roger Federer “as a human being”

Roddick met Federer on the court 24 times in official ATP matches with Federer having a 21 lead among these. Despite their on-court rivalry, Roddick was always respectful of the Swiss 20 Grand Slam winner.

In an interview with the GQ magazine last year, Roddick said- “I love Roger. I do. I love him as a human being. I didn’t show up at the track every morning like, ‘F**k Roger!’ To me, it was like the sky. You’re not always looking at it, but you know it’s there.”

Andy Roddick’s compliment for Federer and Zendaya’s upcoming project brings a lot of hope among the fraternity. Following his comment, people are waiting to see what new feat Federer achieves this time.
