Serena Williams can’t stop making fun of Roddick recalling when she beat him

Serena Williams and Andy Roddick are 2 big icons of American tennis. Being in the same generation, Serena and Andy’s path crossed many times. Talking to the Hall of Fame Live, Andy revealed that he was beaten by Serena when they were very young.  Serena considered that win as a sort of claim that she indirectly beat the very best of men’s tennis.

“Every time we talk she brings this up. There was this story where she sent me a link where she had list her top 5 victories of all time. And sandwiched between one of her many Slam wins was a victory over me.

Her logic was that because she beat me when we were 9 or 10 years old, she has an indirect win over many men’s champions depending on how far you take the rule of indirect wins.

I was kind of her springboard to her having an indirect win over Roger [Federer], Rafa [Nadal], Andre [Agassi] and Pete [Sampras]. So, in her mind that is an important victory,“ he said.

Serena is 1 year older than Andy and that usually made a lot of difference at a younger age. However, pulling Roddick’s legs about that win is completely legit and, of course, hilarious.
