I just met Andy Roddick!

OMG people! I just watched Andy Roddick work out (shirtless, by the way), then I got his autograph and took a picture with him! He was very nice and said his wrist is good! He's so dreamy... :D

Andy's usually pretty good with his fans... Here's the important question - WHAT WAS HE WEARING? His Reebok contract has expired and there seem to be a number of people here who are curious about what he will do.

No point, just very excited right now. I thought we could talk about anything here.
You can. I am happy for you. It is exciting to meet celebrities and I know how thrilling it can be. When I saw the title of your thread, I smiled and had to open it because I sensed your joy. Good night and sweet dreams of Andy.

Were you at the Westside Club in Houston or was this somewhere else? I know some people who would want MANY more details from you...
 
No, it was in Austin. I go to The University of Texas at Austin and he often works out at a certain field here. He runs the track, etc. My friend called me and said he was there so I went as fast as I could! What else do you wanna know?

Andy lives in Austin, so the campus is probably a nice place to work out.

That's all I needed to know. Thought he might have been in Houston already. Thanks.

Why does Roddick run track in Texas Uni??? Were their a ton of girls waiting for hes signature??.

Well we have great facilities here and that particular track he runs at is pretty hidden from the public. You wouldn't really know it's there unless you go to UT. There aren't a lot of tennis fans there either, mostly soccer, softball, runners, and ultimate frisbee. So people don't bother him too much there. (except me but just this once!) So it's really a great place for him to go.

Cool, why wasnt the Uni told beforehand that Roddick was going to make an appearance?

Because he comes here all the time. It's his regular workout place. I've just never run into him before.

Yes that would have been a smart thing to do. While she was it, she also should have asked why he can't hit a backhand down the line.

2 reasons why I didn't ask either of those questions:

1. That's just mean, kinda rude, and isn't going to improve his volleys or backhands down the line.

2. Who can think that fast while looking at a gorgeous guy who also happens to be a celebrity and your favorite tennis player?

Plus he was so nice. Why ruin the moment? :)

I'd like to see you play nkhera1...

I was being sarcastic, I thought that was rude to ask. Trust me I'm not a great player, and obviously Roddick has to have a great game to be a former #1 and a top 3 player. That just shows how good his serve and forehand are. In fact Roddick is my favorite player, and if he can fix his backhand and a few other things I think he can contend for number 1 though many may find it farfetched.

No I was just joking around. Thats pretty cool that you were able to meet him as these kinds of things don't happen too often.
 
Yeah I figured you were joking around but just to make sure I thought I'd respond. :D He's my favorite player too. So fun to watch! And now that I know how nice he is there's no way I'll be changing my mind! :D
 
Actually, he looks like 100 times better than he does in that picture! And if you think he's hot on tv, it's nothing compared to seeing him up close. His body looks amazing right now too! His six-pack is gorgeous. His muscle mass is perfect for his height. I can't think of any flaws...

Andy is doing exactly what i would do.

Working out on a college campus....easy money for picking up hot college chicks. Especially the rich sorority girls.

edit-
though if i were him i'd have never even thought of leaving Mandy Moore. <3

Sarita, congrats on taking full advantage of the opportunity. A lot of folks on this board look down on Andy, but as little as I may think of his game, I admire him for his attitude towards his tennis fans. He always has time for his fans, like, always. That's crazy at his level of popularity. Plus, he kind of keeps things real, makes fun of himself and that just rocks. Anyhoo, you go girl!

I think, if anything some people get annoyed about that fact that this is tennis players board, not a Chip 'n' Dales board. Don't turn this into ****************.com.

Hey, as a tennis player I like to hear when someone has had a good experience with one of the people I admire (pro tennis players). It's good to hear that they appreciate us as fans, and so I wanted to share my positive experience with fellow tennis fans. We can talk about anything we want here, and you don't have to read any boards that don't interest you. :neutral:

Sarita,

Congratulations!

I can recall when I first met my favorite player, Amanda Coetzer, in person. It was a great moment and she proved to be as kind as I hoped and thought she would be.

I am glad that you were able to have a similar experience.

Thanks for sharing!

All My Best,
John

Well thank you very much John! Amanda Coetzer? That's great! I really used to enjoy watching her. I wish everyone could have the opportunity to meet their favorite player. It's really a great experience! Thanks for sharing yours too. :D

My thoughts exactly.

Sarita~ Any idea which club he hits at? Barton Creek or Westwood? I'll be driving to Austin tomorrow for the member/guest at Lost Creek. I believe it's down the road from Barton Creek. I would like to see him crack a few sticks while I'm there.

Cheers.

I have heard people say they've seen him at Balcones. But I'm not quite sure if it's his regular place or not. Sorry, wish I could be of more help.

It was just the way you said it, you were a bit unclear to me. Anyway, I was just wanting to know, I was curious.
