Interviewed by ATP Website, the American and former world no. 1 Andy Roddick spoke about top players and especially Fab Four. 'I hope that people enjoy them because we'll miss them when they won't play anymore'.
Regarding Rafael Nadal, the American confessed how he believes upcoming edition of Roland Garros will be crucial for him. ''He can find confidence again winning that tournament. But to lose on that court(again) knowing to be a big dominator on that surface...i'm very curious to see what will happen''.
Roddick also expressed his views on World No. 1 Novak Djokovic: ''He is certainly the favourite in every tournament. He is very solid and never loses in the first rounds. In every tournament you know he's always there. During US Open they had said that it would have been difficult for him to win and he then won the tournament. He doesn't have any weakness. He moves in an incredible way on the baseline. I think they don't speak enough about him. Watch Roger Federer, he has become one of the best players in the history just like Rafa and even Andy Murray who is world no. 2... it's a very special moment to watch tennis''.
Speaking about tennis players outside the Fab Four, he said(On Cilic): ''I call him microwave because he warms-up quickly and he's able to beat everyone. Last year Cilic showed that it's not only about Fab Four. It will be interesting to see how Raonic, Nishikori and Dimitrov will return even if they are a couple of steps behind them, but we will see if they are able to raise the level and be competitive with Fab Four''.
