‘Would Be Open to a Conversation’ – Andy Roddick Intends to Be a Part of Roger Federer’s Laver Cup in Future

The Laver Cup is getting bigger and better with each passing year as it has become one of the most-awaited exhibition events to look forward in men’s tennis over the years. The tournament’s fourth edition, held in Boston last year, received appreciation from fans as it was attended by tennis greats Roger Federer and Andy Roddick.

Andy Roddick expressed his desire to be captain of Laver Cup’s team World

Federer was not part of team Europe as he had underwent a third knee surgery and traveled to Boston to support his team. Roddick, on the other hand, visited the event and also conversed with the Swiss Maestro. In a recent Twitter interaction, the American star was asked if he would be interested to take up captaincy for team World.

Roddick was quick to respond ‘Yes’ as it appears he might have this thought in his head for a while.

Yes. I would

After seeing the response, when another fan asked whether Roddick will be interested to take up captaincy from this year’s edition in London, the American wrote, “Not my call, and admittedly I don’t know all that goes into it, so would have to learn a bit more……I think it’s a great event and would be open to a conversation for sure.”

For all that he had achieved in the sport, it will be great to have Andy Roddick back on a tennis court in the role of a mentor for team World. Currently, the position is being held by John McEnroe with his brother Patrick acting as co-captain. It definitely remains a possibility as the exhibition event looks ahead in future.

Roddick’s name might be in for future consideration of captains for team Europe and team World

With Bjorg and McEnroe, the captaincy positions are set and Roddick’s name might definitely pop up in the minds of Laver Cup organizers before they decide to choose the next generation captains.

Yesterday, the tournament’s website released a press statement confirming the participation of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for its fifth edition to be held in London this year. If everything goes well, both Federer and Nadal might play together in some doubles matches and this information alone is enough for fans to flock into the O2 arena and witness the event live.
