The technical observation of Andy Roddick during the tennis match

Like most of the tennis community right now, Roddick is also looking forward to watching Roland Garros. Waiting for the final showdown, Roddick is currently following the ATP 250 Estoril Open. Yesterday, while watching the second-round clash between Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Bernabe Zapata Miralles, Roddick took to his Twitter, putting up a tweet.

It is presumed that a social media post by a former player during an ongoing match will be directed toward the gameplay of both the players. However, the tweet by Roddick had a different story. Instead of talking about the match, the former US Open champion opted to give his insights on the camera angle.

As per Roddick, the camera angle set gave the viewers the room to digest the movement, spins, and the pace of the game. Uploading a short video of the match to show the camera angle, Roddick captioned the post “These lower camera angles do tennis so much more justice ……. Movement, spins, pace, speed all so much easier to digest from this angle”
