Former world number one Andy Roddick is a fan of Ons Jabeur and showed it on the occasion of a fortuitous meeting with Flushing Meadows finalist.
On the sidelines of Ons Jabeur’s victory over the Australian Ajla Tomljanovic, she was able to meet her childhood idol Andy Roddick who was waiting for her in the tunnel after the match to congratulate her.
A first meeting that marked the player: “I finally meet this legend”. But the former world n ° 1 is full of praise for the Tunisian: “What a pleasure for me to hello. I love watching you play, good luck you can do it! »»
Andy Roddick is admiring: “Her game attracts, the emotion with which she plays; I think it is also largely because of the variety with which it plays. ”
“As a fan, I think it’s both stressful and incredible not to know what will happen when it plays,” Roddick told Eurosport. “But I think what makes me a fan is that I hear behind the scenes what others say about her. (…) Everyone talks about her. ”
According to him, Ons Jabeur is a complete player who can play on all surfaces. “This allows him to have four chances per year (…)”, explains Roddick. “Her game seems to adapt and she seems to have the intelligence of tennis to evolve,” he added.
“There is no reason why she does not win a big home. You could say that she is probably better than others who have won so she will get there, “he added.
