Andy Roddick Breaks His Racquet

[depelated]

Andy Roddick, example of a tennis player with lots of training, no talent, and a broken racket.

[ikkenienwel]

roddick shouldn't stretch his arms at every backhand

but bent them a little

[nikefreak01]

yeah lol I can tell because the opponent kept landing shots on his backhand which is weaker side... hahaha good stuff ;)

[TheDonOrange]

all the opther players need to smash their rackets on the floor multiple times, but Andy only needs one, then he bends the racket with his bare hands.

[y11971alex]

Roddick... stands too far behind the baseline.

[hattrickster33]

Like approaching an angry dog lol

[santonga]

hahaha the ballboy is like "take it, take the towel, don't hurt me"

[ledzepplinbeatles]

He's like the PEte Townshend of tennis breaking your weapon!

[MrComputer30]

andy rodick Come on

[SiaWinsi]

and the crowd goes wild!

[Jeremyvp]

made in China...

[140895]

You americans are very stupid. That's why your country do not graduate many engineers. Stupid and lazy americans.

[ysflightman]

@140895 lol what?

[MrEroticWalrus]

@140895 Random generalisation nice :)

Not american at all and I'm not biggest fan overall but these kinda things, seem to pop up all time, like cool thing to say.

[WontBeOutworked]

@140895 - "That's why your country "do" not graduate many engineers?" Perhaps you should implement your own advice, kid. The correct word in that sentence is, "does". Of course, you'd know that if you weren't so abysmally stupid. You're not exactly doing your country justice and representing them very well, now are you? USA > All

[dragonangel6]

@WontBeOutworked Wow, what a dickhead. He was totally right, as random and douchey as it was, he was right, so no, they "don't". "USA > All" wow, the amount of times I've heard that, funny. Shame you haven't won a major war since.. when? Oh well, it's good you have a good culture, I love a good bargain, $2 for all you can eat, or $5 to kill the black. You Americans forget it's not your country lmao

[kelman221]

@dragonangel6 I guess the rest of the world is just perfect then, and technically no country belongs to the people that are currently living in it.. we just happen to be a newer nation that has progressed and grown faster than any other country until recent times.

[WontBeOutworked]

@dragonangel6 Instead of taking the time to decipher your poorly written out message, I believe I got the gist of it. You're pretty ignorant if you think that $2 entails an all you can eat deal, that a hitman would accept $5 to kill someone, and that the USA is not our country. If it's not our country, then who does it belong to? Granted, it wasn't founded by an American, but it belongs to us. Do yourself a favor and go take your racist, ignorant, and pea-sized brain somewhere else.

[reatonate1989]

@WontBeOutworked

Maybe English isn't his first language considering he's from Brazil. Calling someone stupid for making a small error in their second language is pretty stupid in itself. So i wouldn't be so quick to judge.

[nerdskater101]

@140895 His racquet is engineered by the French by the way.

[stirianix]

@140895 shut the fuck up! nobody gives a damn about engineering! America is the best country in the world bitches! :)

[reatonate1989]

@stirianix

O please, you honestly think that? Or did the propaganda machine that is your educational system convince you to think that?

[R17101]

I luv the way the new racket is throwed down and hit in the ground

[felicw]

AHHAAHHAHAH

[03curlyfries]

banana hamock

[bluerabbit1629]

i shouldn't laugh but it is pretty funny XD

[123cys]

i have cracked 4 sucky wilson rackets before. one was when i was 6

[jthoov]

all players who break racquets are bound to be wife beaters, "i said i wanted meat loaf! *backhand* " - andy roddick to wife in the future

[crackermoves]

@jthoov Hahaha

[vlaknall]

@jthoov Fuck yea.

[UltimateProMelody]

lmfao roddick is nuts...

[TheOmar1287]

wow i would never do that

[chipthepark10]

yowch but he probably got a huge fine and penalty

[krazedgas]

lool. ballboy does a careful approach!

[aznking01010]

lol did roddick break his second racket, too??

[BrotherTree1]

roddick really needs to reconsider his game and go back to a drawing board for a bit. hes angry obviously because he's not liking his game and now in 2010 hes boding worse. he needs to do something bout it especially his mentality (ie. consult alot with stefanki) before he reaches wimbledon, otherwise he'll in big trouble, and i dont want him to drop outta top 10 after wimbledon cauz that will be sad.

[waynelee99]

So..the moral of the story is....... "Its always better to be pissed off, than to be pissed ON.."

read it several times and it will start to make sense :D

[RALMAR9]

what a baby

[aznking01010]

im sure you would break it too if you were playing tennis.

[hattrickster33]

ugh i hate 2 handed back-hands...although djoko and roddick use it well the reality is that it will never be as versatile as the 1 handed backhand

[pronitron20600]

roddicks bakhand is 1 of the ugliest and shittest bakhands EVER....he jst uses his wrists theres no backswing, it jst looks technically SHITE....Nalbandian and Safin have the best 2handers ever. FACT

[hattrickster33]

@pronitron20600 yea and don't forget about Borg he was one of the first to use it....he got the idea from the slap shot in hockey....nothing like Roddick lol

[DemonicGman]

let me know when you're ranked #7 then you can talk about which is better ok?

[hattrickster33]

I play one-handed.....and some guy...I think his name is Federer, you probably haven't heard of him, he's #1 and he uses one-handed

[DemonicGman]

@hattrickster33 you realize roddick was #1 once right? and federer is better because he has tons of natural talent/practice. here's another stat your small brain might not know:

"Roddick and Federer are the only players to have been ranked in the Association of Tennis Professionals top 10 at year-end from 2002 through 2009."

[hattrickster33]

I never said I didn't like Roddick.... but he uses power 2 get around the fact that his backhand is his weakest shot

[reefric]

actually arod´s backhand has improved a lot, since the the time he worked with jimmy connor´s.

[hattrickster33]

true....he's actually hitting winners with it now

[mssheltn1]

@hattrickster33 YOU'RE JOKING RIGHT?! I've yet to see anyone with a versatile 1 handed backhand. 1 handed backhands are usually not very powerful and inconsistent.

[hattrickster33]

NO IM NOT JOKING!!!! lol look at Federer or Blake...the reason people think the 1 handed backhand sucks is because when they try to do it they always get the grip wrong

[mssheltn1]

I'm sorry but what is your real name and what is your professional tennis ranking?? I would like to see u play in pro tennis if u do.

[hattrickster33]

I used to....i wish....but seriously i'm not talking about me i'm talking about the #1 in the world

[Sonic2710]

Dude, Federer has the best one-handed backhand in the tour presently... it's amazing how much variety it has.

[mssheltn1]

I respect Federer and there's no denying that he's one of the best. I've heard other people say that his backhand is not that powerful and that he can only do certain shots with it.

[SMango23]

really..have u faced an American in tennis 1-on-1..international ass.

[Zacattackzak]

It was a joke you fuckface..

[SMango23]

no "fuckface" necessary...BAD joke...

[aznboy712]

and that's why Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Michael Chang, Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Jim Courier, Arthur Ashe, Stan Smith, the Williams sisters, the Bryan brothers, and other Americans claim grand slam titles? With Sampras having 14 of them, and Agassi have a career grand slam, and several of them gain World No. 1 status...I'd say tennis suits Americans just fine.

And I love that you feature AMERICAN music in your fish tank video. You're an idiot.

[Zacattackzak]

First off, it was a joke you twat, how about you read the fucking comment before this!

Second of all, that is not my video you idiot, fucking douche..

[Skeith21r]

Sampras is greek. his real name is Zavras.

[aznboy712]

He still played for the U.S. just like Chang and Agassi. All Americans came from somewhere else if you think about it.

[wowbucket]

The best is the crowd clapping and then suddenly stopping when he smashes it, lol!

[GsDeleon2]

I fear for the ballboys when they approach a guy who's pissed. I mean imagine walking up to Safin after he just smashed his racket??

[hasanp03]

LOL

[abcjc1]

@GsDeleon2  it would be like "Shut up Meg!!!!" punch in the face

[Arod920]

hey, do you get a warning for racket abuse everytime you break your racket?

[peepeesprinkler4132]

no you get fined alot like 10,000$, they dont warn you because the player no they shouldnt do that to there rackets

[killerH3]

no he was breaking it more lol

[cu11ing]

After he broke it, he was trying to bend it back?

[Elwink]

Genius.

[JLTRAIN233]

hahahaha

[GigaTwilight]

Andy RodDICK !

[piroman90zonki]

hahahah he is king!

[jna180]

he pulls out another one and almost breaks that one too lololol

[baochau53]

that made him look really sexy

[mssheltn1]

I totally agree!! Roddick is HOT!!! It looked like he needed a hug and maybe a kiss. LOL

[zacheuss]

what a hunk!!

[bettiep]

Wow that was so hot! I love Andy!

[MissKuncita]

I didn't want to be that racket... O_O

[tokijinblade]

wow he broke his racquet with one slam

[kenisinoregon]

u dont wanna be a towel boy for that game lol

[0ChainGang0]

power!!!!!! this dude has broken soo many racquets.. lol... i love it wen hes angry!!!

[imadesiboy1993]

LOL The ball boy runs away. "DONT KILL ME"

[chowlokhang]

You can see how strong he was.

[caleta21]

bum

[iloveboarding32]

Biiiiiiitch please

[dayne120]

its a girl

[JoshRom]

weak mind.

[HanKang0]

LOL the ballboy is scared as fuck.

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@HanKang0 thats a chick... 

[drogheda1966]

@HanKang0 Yes. Because the 'adult' is acting like a child. His tantrums are indulgent and sad. He enjoys being coddled and babied by his fellow man and needs to grow up and stop sucking his thumb.

[nerdboyrulez11]

he has a really bad temper

[silentgunslayer]

roddicks raquet is ment to hit long range

[GueorguiJoukov]

Of course, if you stand 6 feet from the baseline, chances are you are going to miss shot.

Hates when he does that. Such spin, such power... He's better aggressive. He didn't play near the fence at Wimbledon and he did good. His new coach seems to be a genius...

[DarkSinEXODUZ]

I cant tell if you're against him or with him lol

[SamCoreJ]

With the depth his opponent was hitting he was forced back.

[KyoshoCrew]

Never seen Roddick do such a thing before. He's always been such a sport, but oh well, supprise rage happens to the best of us

[VanIsleBC]

what a gong show

[emspunk1]

lol at that kid that had to hand him the towel. he was like "dont hurt me"

[curryboy86]

ahahahahah lmao

[lloveComedy]

His a short tempered

[beardedasian8]

no he's not at all.. he takes the game seriously, hence why he's so good.. so yeah when he's mad it's bad because he doesnt take it seriously.. good or bad moments, its how roddick is.

[Snap3231]

I broke my Nintendo ds on couple days ago, and some controllers... should i go anger management?

[Babuforlife]

YESS!!

you need help fast my dear child!

haha *sarcasm*

[xRIC4RDOxSTAx]

Dudes , I got a very bad temper , Federer has it too .

On Saturday I was playing with a guy with 17 yrs old , always throwing the ball to my one-hand backhand ... And I lost 7-5 ... I just control me ... If Roddick controls him , he gonna play his best tennis , just like Federer

[OMGitsBRYANLEE]

he has serious issues

[lawlitssoo1n]

lol how would u feel if u worked your butt out during your off season and still get dominated by federer and nadal?

[SamCoreJ]

Not really. Most if not all tennis players have smashed a racket or two. It can be a stressful game, particularly when your playing for a living id imagine. This is normal.

[sportz227]

who cares if he breaks it he like like millions leftt and tat was probably important shot he got mad soo

[ADMediaEmpire]

It's like playing a shooting game on xbox and you've done the same level 200 times and still can't get through it and you throw a controller at the floor or Punch the bed :] lmao!!

[swingdocta]

why dont they just take a tennis ball from their pocket and stomp it or something haha. retarded breaking a perfectly good racquet.

[rastafarianreedsta1]

since when is anger rational?

thats not something anyone really thinks through, he'd probably smashed before he ever even consciously decided to do anything

i agree its kindof a stupid thing to do but in a moment of frustration i think thats a pretty acceptable and normal response

[xRIC4RDOxSTAx]

NORMAL !!!!!? I don't think sooo .. Normal isn't .. Dude , Roger got a worst temper than Roddick and when he get´s pro , since 1998 to 2010 i only see 3 Times he smashing racket ! 2 broken ...

[SMango23]

@xRIC4RDOxSTAx Dude, federer doesn't have a bad temper anymore...that was wayy back when he was younger and he DID break his racket alot!!

[DrFeelGood93]

i think if they stomped on a tennis ball then there is a good chance that they could break their ankle or something

Everyone does this, even the ice cool federer has done it recently. he's only human. just try and imagine the main thing in ur life that u r so good at going horribly wrong. how would you react ?(open to anyone here)

[DrFeelGood93]

yeh atleast u hav another language to yell in haha. most of the time i get pretty hard looks from the parents if i shout stuff. but inlike you i do sumtimes smash my racquets :S luckily iv started earnin money and i can for em myself, so it aint too bad anymor =)

[aznhorn54]

lmao...he needs anger management.

[mssheltn1]

YOU NEED TO GET A CLUE.

[Prodeth13]

yeah, he's gonna have a heart attack before he's 30 if he keeps getting so mad lol. But that's still plenty of time to make the #1 spot! = )

[jpogfan97]

Spaz.

[adamkehoe73]

why did he destroy his new racket?

FAIL

[JtotheP123]

...because babolat gives him an unlimited supply for free.

thats what sponsors are for! no1 is ready to give up a sponsor on andy roddick. roddick is the reason a ton of people got the babolat pure drive, and i hadnt even heard of lacoste before he started wearing it and now everyone has lacoste

[baseliner52094]

good points

[pofulover]

Runs over to trash can and takes the racket**

[xxMalakeixx]

he could sell the broken racquet for more, shut up you guys are both retards

[sunglasesatnight]

[angryboiy]

[Lien0120]

yeah but he's got sponsors..

[LegIsLate]

The money of the racket would feed two homeless children in a developing country for a year.

[egghead428]

no one cares

thats why

[spiff524]

[LuCaRiOfan94]

[musha00]

[craneydude]

if i broke my racket on purppose my parents wud go MENTAL

[KinghtHunter]

dang. wtf. if i had money to break a racket and wate it like that then i would just use that money to donate money to the poor and kids in africa. also man he has a temper issue and aslo poor sportsmanship.

[IsojiI]

You also wouldn't ever be that frustrated in a professional tennis game cause you'd be thinking of the poor in Africa right? Get real dude.

[Babolat3216]

That is fucked up dude. He could've just picked on the racket he already broke. LOL

[PeachyFoam]

They should donate all the broken racquet money to African children and stop breaking the racquets!

[unforsaken5]

i could break my racket but i cant get 20 of them out of my bag for free

[imadesiboy1993]

I was in one of his matches when he screamed THIS IS SUCH A BAIL in the US open. I think against Hewwitt.

[picnic4]

did he get penalised for that?

[antcowan]

the towel girl was was crappin it lol

[DjB0r4T]

wow he is quite strong xD i never was able to break my racket :D

[v7ps]

lol that would probably be a first if he broke a racquet thats still in a bag brand new haha

[Keirosuke]

omg he seems like a spoiled brat there lol. The racquets costs so much!

[chunyewsun]

i want that racquet D:

[TTFAFF]

holy shit, never thought i was going to see andy roddick doing something like that.

[penssmell997]

Then you don't know Roddick.

[TTFAFF]

you're right. I thought i knew him, now im sure that i dont.

[penssmell997]

Yeah, don't worry. I used to like Roddick until I saw him lose, lol.

He's fine when he's winning.

[billyg0789]

he's nice, he gave that to charity, then gave an extra 2 grand.

[TTFAFF]

lol, watch the video Roddick vs Hewitt terrible overule, he went nuts!

[jraybay]

[Popstadog]

[zodiackilla]
