Tennis Hall of Famer Andy Roddick is joining ESPN as a match commentator and studio analyst for Wimbledon and the US Open under a multiyear deal announced Monday. The 2003 US Open champion will begin his new role just before play starts at the All England Club in late June. Roddick, who retired in 2012 and entered the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017, expressed excitement about covering "the two biggest tournaments in the world."

Roddick's career included 32 singles titles and nine consecutive years ranked in the ATP's top 10. He finished as runner-up at four Grand Slam tournaments, all three of his Wimbledon losses coming against Roger Federer in 2004, 2005, and 2009, plus the 2006 US Open. His New York championship in 2003 remains the last time an American man won a Grand Slam singles title.

His addition to ESPN's tennis coverage brings both playing expertise and American perspective to the broadcast team. The network's multiyear commitment signals confidence in Roddick's ability to translate his on-court experience into compelling commentary. As the tennis world anticipates another season of Grand Slam competition, Roddick's transition from player to analyst adds another layer of insight for viewers following the sport's biggest stages.
