Where fitness and injury are still a question and tournaments are scheduled around the corner, Andy Roddick recently revealed whether this was the best decision on the Serb’s part.

While he has always looked to his team to find the remaining edge, he is now finally going to make a potential transition to dealing with young tennis players on the court. But let’s take a look at what another Grand Slam champion has to say about such a huge decision.

Andy Roddick added, “But, the thing is, he’s 36. It’s a weird moment where does he think he’s in there with these other three superhumans. I think that you would want someone, I don’t think you would do a trial run with no coach before Roland Garros and Wimbledon. If I’m Novak and won that many Slams, I would want something that’s consistent where I didn’t feel like I was getting to know someone.” 

Since the 36-year-old tennis star has taken this huge step, everyone in the tennis world has shared their opinion on the same. Just a few days ago, even Jimmy Connors, another American tennis legend, shared a harsh reality over the split.

Connors stated, “Yeah, fresh set of eyes. Maybe. You know that? You know, always are important. But yeah, I think you know, sometimes shaking it up. But isn’t it funny? It’s always the coach’s fault. The time to get rid of the coach.” On the other hand, he also shared possible reasons behind the huge decisions regarding how sometimes people need a break or just to check things up and find a new outlook on things.
