from Served with Andy Roddick · host Served Media Network
In this Miami Recap edition of Served with Andy Roddick, we dive into the historic dominance of Jannik Sinner as he completes the Sunshine Double without dropping a single set. Andy breaks down the specific mechanical adjustments in Sinner’s serve that have led to an absurd 94% service hold rate. We also discuss Aryna Sabalenka’s reign at the top of the WTA, the "coaching carousel" affecting stars like Iga Swiatek, & Amanda Anisimova, and a rumor regarding the WTA Finals moving to Charlotte, NC. Plus, don't miss Andy’s unfiltered rant on the Dunlop tennis balls being used on tour—why he calls them "unusable" for professional play.
