The former world No. 1 and 2003 US Open champion has signed a multi-year contract with the network to work as an analyst for match and studio coverage. He will join ESPN ahead of Wimbledon, which begins on June 29, and will cover the tournament, as well as the US Open.
Roddick retired from professional tennis in 2012 after a 13-season career, during which he reached the finals of Wimbledon in 2004, 2005 and 2009 and the US Open in 2006. He won 32 singles titles on the ATP Tour, including five ATP Masters 1000 titles and helped lead the United States to the Davis Cup title in 2007 and was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017.
Roddick has been a temporary contributor to the Tennis Channel, and hosts a weekly podcast for the channel titled, Served with Andy Roddick. He previously co-hosted Fox Sports Live on FOX Sports 1 and hosted a show on FOX Sports Radio with Bobby Bones, and is now the host of The Bobby Bones Show.
“We are thrilled to welcome Andy to the team. ESPN has long led the way in providing in-depth tennis analysis, and with several recent talent additions, we have enhanced our coverage,” said Linda Schulz, ESPN’s vice president of production. “Andy brings a distinctive, energetic and highly relevant voice that will elevate our studio and match coverage.”
“Simply put, I have always been a huge tennis fan. I am very excited to join the ESPN tennis team and look forward to covering the two biggest tournaments in the world,” Roddick said.
