[@martinkirkov]

Andy, no other player can be such a pure delight to listen to! Lovely sense of humor and so intelligent!

[@kaceyrodriguez3053]

He was in the top 10 for nearly a decade....majors or not, that's insane consistency

[@movakalin5333]

great speech. Love you man.

[@allanyang21]

He did not win Wimbledon but we all know he played like a champ in those matches.

[@GIN.356.A]

If he played anyone other than Fed in those finals, He would have won most if not all of them.

[@jkjkjk100]

4 finals in grand slams and 3 semis all stopped by fed. Fed knows his game too well...

[@richardkrivik7032]

Absolute Legend of the Game..Top 10 for a decade.. multiple Masters Champion ..Grandslam champ..Former no.1..Davis cup Champ..and lot of time Grands finalist..and The not Only the coolest unique looking serve but for sure One of the very Best Ever..Amazing smash artist as well .. Great Topspin forehand ..killer slice..etc.. For sure great honest Fair Carismatic caracter... I Allways like him..

[@MrBen51309]

Really nice speech, you can tell he doesn't take himself too seriously.

[@Henlarious]

He’s married to Brooklyn Decker. He already won life.

[@cbalmori]

classy guy... he is missed

[@platformfiles]

great speech

[@nexen3515]

He won his last match against Federer, kinda ironic huh :D ?

[@keithwarner6997]

I was a tennis instructor in boca fla 1998 . I look at this kid 15 years old but tall n strong. I said that he was definitely going to be a top player ..He was akid hitting balls with his dad daily ...He was so talented it was just going to happen. I never spoke to him,he was in his own world w his dad n I didn't want to interfere %I would watch them hit balls on my breaks it was amazzzing w his golf visor on ...

[@charliecaballero1977]

If not for FED he would have more Grandslams..... Still Andy is one of the great on and off the court.....

[@maryhertel5210]

Turn down the background music. I would like to hear what he is saying.

[@llg0918]

I wish he won 1 Wimbledon

[@jkjkjk100]

pikaLu he coulda won 4. Lost 3 finals and 1 semis to goat. And 2 semis in oz and 1 final in us open also to fed... he lived under fed shadow. It’s sad.

[@llg0918]

@@jkjkjk100 so true

[@DN-kz7xl]

Respect.

[@beatenbytheclown]

Anyone else interpret it this way I got to guard Jordan - Djokovic I went the distance with Ali - Murray I pitched to Babe Ruth - Nadal I saw what it was like to watch Picasso - Federer

[@dogdaybreak3157]

No, he meant that he actually guarded Michael Jordan. He fought Ali. He pitched to Babe Ruth. And he watched a documentary on Picasso.

[@s33thr3w]

But his serves were Nasty!

[@f.s7932]

anyonw know the name of the background music?

[@colinglen4505]

yes..it's called 'annoying intrusion.'

[@f.s7932]

thank you so much

[@maryhertel5210]

Agree, background music is too loud.

[@QiuyuanChenRyan916]

Fed might win most matches against him but nevertheless fed needs andy to grow too.

[@wozmac771]

only wish he hadn't worked with Gilbert...

[@pacochuquiure7807]

If he was Belgian or Scottish he would have been inducted in 2030 or maybe later. The fact that he is north american is the difference. Sorry but that is the way i interpret his accolade.

[@jkjkjk100]

Paco Chuquiure lol. You clearly need to look up roddicks accomplishments

[@jkjkjk100]

Also, in tennis scots plays under the flag of great britain.
