Andy Roddick is one of the most celebrated tennis players of all time. He was the last American male player to win a US Open championship in 2003. Besides that, he shared one of the greatest rivalries with Roger Federer. He met him 24 times on the opposite side of the court and only won on three occasions.

However, during an exhibition match at Madison Square between the two, a fan shouted, “VAMOS RAFA”, before Roddick’s serve. And Roddick did not hesitate in switching to Rafa mode.
