ANDY RODDICK talks ALL-AMERICAN SEMI-FINAL

I'm about to be a massive hypocrite probably not the first time but I often go after JW because he makes his pcks with the story that he wants to write like a week from now he likes to he likes to work backwards from the story he wants to write working on Dem story are you he he already has a mailbag oh an American like he he's had that mailbag written for for 12 years uh giving up the game here I I am American in the final tifo in the final sold let's go tiao of the final and I don't I don't even want to break it down I just want it to be what it is I want to be in the building I want to I want it all to end I want it all to end I want it to all end I want it to go away I I want it to I want it's very gracious of you I other uh athletes in your position want to like drink from that faucet God the faucet listen i' I've I've I've I've gotten more juice out of the squeeze than any human has ever gotten out of anything ever you you and Fred Perry correct like I so I totally and I guess I have I but I can't take him I I don't think he's I can't take him in a head-to-head matchup against MV just based on matchup I'm putting Francis in the final oh but I can't pick against medy I think I have medy winning all right but I got just typ we're hypothetical land here obviously Francis doesn't beat Fritz does he that's up to you I didn't have him I head's ver I have FR I have Fritz beating Francis you have Fritz in the final against medy yep okay are you going to do it you gonna do it you think is gonna do it on the uh a [ __ ] why not all right you have Taylor Fritz winning the US Open sure why not he's honest I mean all jokes aside and all like uh he's been terrific so far yeah I mean his his serving has been great he no drama I mean he's really looked like someone capable of winning Majors um yeah why not Fritz you're 2024 US Open Champion saying that on Labor Day go I we both have a f we we are we we are willing this to happen by the way I just want Fritz to get on TFO to get on one I would love Fritz TFO semi I would love to guarantee uh a US finalist um for the first time in a long time I would love nothing more than for an American to win uh on Sunday that would just light that would fill my cup up uh I hope it's one of those two uh and we don't know if Tommy Paul's left uh is still in the tournament uh by the time you're listening to this um we both chose sinner so we're acting off of that assumption but Tommy Paul could very much be in this conversation as well uh I hope he is um we will see but you have you have the old the old T Fritz walking into Ash having not played there just just and then just rewriting history say I love the dynamic here usually it's it's monkey off the back usually the burden is on like the Chicago Cubs that they haven't won you're feeling unburdened by getting this like you're you won this thing like you're you're you're good and you're feeling like you need to unburden yourself no it's not unburdening me I get I hate it I get this anxious feeling every time they have to answer for it I [ __ ] hate it for them I absolutely hate it for them no I I just want it I want them to have it I want them to clear and Frankly Speaking if one of them breaks this thing they could all they could start contending regularly like it could the damn breaks and then it goes like this there's they don't have to play against ghosts like they don't have to play against ghosts so I hope it happens we'll see uh I think I had medy going through just because uh I had him beating CER and um my ego won't let me go back on that so not my ego my ego speaking of which Speaking of which thank you thank you I'm I've been podcasting for months I'm I'm pretty much great at it now [Applause]
