BRISTOL, Conn. — Tennis Hall of Famer Andy Roddick will join ESPN’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open coverage under a multiyear deal announced Monday.
Roddick, the 2003 US Open champion, will begin work as a match commentator and studio analyst shortly before the start of the match at the All England Club in late June. His victory in New York was the last time an American man won a Grand Slam singles title.
He retired as a player in 2012 and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017.
“Simply, I’ve always been a huge tennis fan. I’m very excited to be joining the ESPN tennis team and look forward to covering two of the world’s biggest tournaments,” Roddick said in a statement.
Roddick was a runner-up in four Grand Slam tournaments, losing to Roger Federer at Wimbledon in 2004, 2005, 2009, and the 2006 US Open, but he won 32 singles titles, ranked in the ATP top 10 for nine consecutive years, and helped the United States win the Davis Cup in 2007.
