Andy Roddick breaks down what makes Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz so adaptable, why young players shouldn’t simply copy the world’s best, and the tactical changes Novak Djokovic is making late in his career. Plus, Andy gets into Ben Shelton’s slice, Casper Ruud’s deceptive serve, the rise of slower serves on the WTA Tour, a wild story about nearly missing an exhibition in Peru, and his very strong feelings about Skyline Chili.
