Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Match Day Routines & Superstitions

[01:00–05:24] – Listener Scott’s Question

• Listener Question: What were Andy’s routines and superstitions on match days? Did they impact his mindset or performance?
• Andy’s Routine:
  • Strong emphasis on controlling as many variables as possible during match day, especially diet, hydration, and timing of meals.
  • Warmup lengths would change depending on conditions (e.g., weather, how he was feeling, or tournament stage).
  • "I was like insane about routine. I needed to control something." [01:29]
  • If feeling good, would keep warmups short (12–13 minutes). Longer if he felt he was “searching for something.”
  • Same stretching routine, always using a timer to ensure balanced stretching between left/right sides—describes it as “weird, OCD.”
• Superstitions & OCD Tendencies:
  • Not “superstitious” but self-described as “a little stitious.”
  • Shared anecdotes about Jimmy Connors’ superstitions—always driving the same way to courts, counting steps for evenness (“He’s like, ‘Oh, I’m counting. They have to be even.’” [05:07]).
  • Drew parallels to Rafael Nadal’s bottle and routine quirks: “This kind of control in the face of not having any control type thing…I think that’s very prevalent in tennis players.” [05:16]

2. Sports Psychology & Mental Resilience

[05:34–10:43] – Listener Gabe’s Question

• Listener Question: What role did sports psychology play in Andy’s career? Advice for aspiring sports psychologists?

• Andy’s Perspective:

  • Mental side is nuanced; Andy excelled at not being distracted by the occasion, but was obsessive about preparation:
    • “I wasn’t really psyched out by a semi or a final…At that point I felt like I had found it.”
    • Emphasizes the importance of showing up to work even when not in the ideal mental state:

      “I think you can get on with your work when you’re in a bad mood or in a bad place…I was good at that, right? I was good at, you know, losing the 09 Wimbledon final and then, you know, when I got back and had four days, getting back to work even though I didn’t feel about anything…” [06:31]

  • Argues for embracing the professional “grind” even if you’re not always at your sharpest mentally.
  • Preparation brings clarity: “I think I got mental clarity from preparation.” [07:52]

• Evolution of Sports Psychology on Tour:

  • Andy reflects that sports psychology was more generic when he played; now it’s much more personalized and integrated into player teams.
  • Used to view psychologist advice as “count to 10, say woo saw and rub your earlobe. Like…is it the same for Pete that it is for Mac that it is for Andre…”
  • “I like it now…feels very personal. That, I think, is at least from outside looking in, feels like a change that I would kind of gravitate towards.” [09:27]
  • Notes the increased ability of players to hire more specialized support today.

3. Coaching: Larry Stefanki’s Special Qualities

[11:19–14:39] – Listener Chambers’ Question

• Listener Question: What made Larry Stefanki such a valuable coach to Andy?
• Andy’s Attributes for a Great Coach:
  • Timing: Larry knew exactly when to deliver advice so the player would be able to receive it.

    “He was brilliant at timing…you have to deliver the information when someone’s ready to receive it.” [11:46]

  • Individualized Communication: Could see the game “through his player’s eyes” and tailor advice to fit player’s game/style.
  • Digestible Feedback: Gave advice in small, timely “sound bites.”
  • Preparation: Would discuss training/match plans in advance, before nerves kicked in.
  • Bottom-up Philosophy: “Can’t start a point until your legs are ready to go.” [12:53]
  • Example of Simple but Effective Coaching:
    • Helped Andy resolve backhand footwork with one actionable tip on tracking the ball toward his back instep—a single cue that fixed “six other things” at once. [13:08–14:35]

---

4. “Bagel” Sets & Bagel Orders

[14:45–17:56] – Listener Michael from Bagel NYC

• Listener Questions:
  1. How many times did Andy bagel (win a set 6-0) someone on tour?
  2. Most memorable “bagel.”
  3. Preferred bagel order.
• Andy’s Responses:
  • Has no clear memory, guesses not many times—breaking three times in a set was “not my thing.”
  • Most memorable bagel: “I remember when I got get bagel. Like, that sucked, but I don't...honestly, I don't remember [delivering one].” [16:23]
  • Cream cheese on a simple bagel is his go-to; for a sandwich, prefers Asiago.
  • Playful banter over the theory (citing Seinfeld) that eating too many sesame seeds can cause a failed drug test; Andy jokes, “I never had sesame, only for that reason.”

---

5. On-Air Language – Commentary & Working “Clean”

[18:25–19:29] – Listener Cyrus (age 8) & Mom

• Listener Question: Was it hard not to “say some words that I’m not allowed to say” when commentating Wimbledon?
• Andy’s Answer:
  • No, not hard—explains he uses colorful language here for effect, but never had issues on live TV:

    “It wasn’t that hard, which is probably a lesson. I have done lots of live TV…have never gotten in trouble, knock on wood.” [18:42]

• Promises to try getting “better” about language on the pod, jokes that his kids “can say whatever you want when you’re paying your own rent.”

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “I’m not superstitious—I’m just a little stitious.” (Andy, referencing The Office and his own approach) [01:29]
• “If you saw me warm up for 12 minutes, that meant that I felt pretty good and that you could potentially be in trouble.” [02:53]
• “My wife tells this story…she’d ask what I have at one, I’d say ‘workout’…she’s like ‘You’re a psycho.’” [03:49]
• "Jimmy Connors…would take the same way to the courts, even if it took a half hour longer...He’s like, 'Oh, I’m counting. They have to be even.'" [05:07]
• "I think that’s very prevalent in tennis players: this routine, this kind of control in the face of not having any control." [05:16]
• “I was good at showing up most days. I was good at competing most days…but I think it’s okay to look at it like a job sometimes.” [06:31]

• “He fixed seven things with one note.” (on Stefanki’s backhand advice) [14:12]
• “Bagel order? Gosh, I’m a bit of a purist. Just some sloppy cream cheese on something is fantastic.” [16:51]

Transcript

[Announcer]

Foreign.

[Andy Roddick]

Welcome to Q and Andy, the show where I don't know what's coming. The questions are provided by you, the listener producer, Mike, what do we got?

[Sean]

Well, first, thank you to everybody who sent in questions. A couple ways to do it. As a reminder for the future, you can find us on socials. We're at Serve podcast. You can also email them to ask andyrvpodcast.com or just go to servepodcast.com and. And right there at the top of the page, click Ask Andy. Submit your question because, Andy, I think us ribbing everyone is actually working because this week every single question is a video question.

[Andy Roddick]

Oh, I was going to ask how the videos were going. Is it still a tragic state of affairs? But we got videos.

[Sean]

We're doing it, so thank you. Okay, thank you everybody. And first we're going to thank Scott by playing his video question. Scott, thanks for dming this. Sean, give it a go.

[Scott]

Hey, Andy, this is Scott and Charlotte, brave enough to send you a video submission for Q and Andy. I just finished up a ball machine session. It's part of my routine on days when I have matches. My question to you is, on your match days, did you have certain routines, physical warm ups, things that you ate that you did each match day? I've been winning recently, so I've been a little stitious, not changing on my routine. Wondering if you had any superstitions based on how you were playing to maybe get some, some karma, some mojo going into your matches. Thanks so much. Bye.

[Andy Roddick]

I like the little stitious reference. You know, I'm a fan of that one. I'm not superstitious. I'm just a little stitches. Well, con, congrats on the apparent heater that you got rolling there. Good job. For me it was, it was. Match days are tough with warmup because, you know, hopefully you're playing at a club or somewhere where you get like a set match time. So I loved a one o' clock start because then you could make sure you had eaten and you had an hour and a half or two hours to digest and everything was kind of dialed on tour. If your third match after one, you're kind of just guessing as best you can along the way. But for me, I was like insane about routine. I needed to control something. I wasn't like a, oh, we'll warm up just as much as we warm up or whatever. I was like hydrated the night before, woke up, would eat right away. I knew that the closer the match got, the less I was going to Want to eat for nerves. So I would try to pound, like a big meal at night and in the morning. But as far as the actual warmup, it also depended on weather, right? If we were in Cincinnati and it was 102 degrees, I wasn't going to go burn a 35 minute warmup, right? So if I was feeling good and I was in the semifinals or something, I would go up and warm up for 12 or 13 minutes, right? I would literally not be working on stuff, but just quite literally warming up so that your body was kind of familiar, but it changes. You know, if you're searching for something, maybe the warmup is a little bit longer. If you saw me warm up for 12 minutes, that meant that I felt pretty good and that you could potentially be in trouble. But for me, it was big on sleep, obviously, big on. On diet, pounding food when I felt like I could. Maybe you don't deal with nerves. It might not be the same thing, but I did. So I knew that I was just going to be trying to, like, grind a bar, a banana before I went on. So I wanted that kind of. I didn't want to go into, like a calorie deficit, you know? So for me. But it was the same stretching routine before. I wouldn't hit the same sort of stuff all the time. Just the length of the warmup is the only thing that kind of changed.

[Sean]

Did I hang out with you sometimes and I see you stretch and you start a clock for how long you want to stretch for. Did you do that when you. When you played? I mean, I started doing it because I'm like, yeah, like. Like I'm not going to stretch for five seconds and have it be effective.

[Andy Roddick]

But, yeah, I'm weird. My. My wife tells this story that. Excuse me. That when I retired, she would. And this is, I guess, how we're just as tennis players trained on a schedule. She'd be like, well, what do you have today? And I'd be like, oh, you know, I'm going to. I have a workout at 1. And she'd be like, oh, okay. And then, you know, she'd come back like an hour or two later. She's like, oh, is your strength coach, Is Lance going to come over? And I'm like, no. She's like, well, what's. At one? I'm like, well, that's what I'm working out. She goes with anyone or you're. I go, no, that's what I've scheduled for myself. And she's like, you're a psycho. She's like, who does it? I'm not, like, schedules like 1 o'.

[Listener]

Clock.

[Andy Roddick]

So, yes, I put a. I put a timer when I stretch, so. And it's also this weird, like, OCD thing. Like, if I stretch the left side for a minute, I want to make sure I stretch the right side for a minute. Right now.

[Sean]

It's probably smart.

[Andy Roddick]

It may be. I will tell you, though, Mike, one of my coaches, and this is a side tangent. We're never going to get through this episode if I keep telling stories, but. No, no, but Jimmy Connors was, you know, he's. He's pretty ocd, right? He would drive the same way to the courts, even if it took a half hour longer. Right. Like, he would take different things. And if. If you all remember him playing, he used to tap his feet, like when he was walking. And I was like, what are you doing? He's like, oh, I'm counting. They have to be even.

[Sean]

Oh, my God.

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah. But if you think about, like, think about Rafa, too, with his water bottles and with, like you saw in the documentary, like, there's a little bit of that in us. You know, this routine, this thing, this kind of control in the face of not having any control type thing. I think that's very prevalent in tennis players.

[Sean]

Oh, wow. That's actually. I didn't know that about Connors. Next up, we have one. This kind of fits a little bit. We have. Was it. Gabriel emailed this to us. Sean.

[Listener]

Hi. Andy and surf team, this is Gabe from Venezuela. I wanted to ask you during your professional career, how much would you say your mindset, your mentality and your psychology played a role in the success you had as somebody that wants to become a sports psychologist one day? I am very interested in hearing from you, former number one in the world and Grand Slam champion, and maybe learn something. Also, is May 22nd the day I'm recording this, my birthday. So if you can please wish me a happy birthday, I will highly appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[Sean]

May 22nd.

[Andy Roddick]

All right, guys, let's get our little cute little voices ready. You ready? Happy birthday to. We can't do the whole thing. Happy birthday, Gabe.

[Sean]

May 22nd. He must have snail mailed it. What's up with that? Ella? Yeah.

[Andy Roddick]

Is this. Was this like a. Did he send a hard drive?

[Sean]

Yeah. Apologies, Gabriel, from. From Ella and the team for not seeing this sooner.

[Announcer]

Yeah.

[Andy Roddick]

He's like, we're closer to my next birthday at this point.

[Scott]

Yeah.

[Andy Roddick]

So the mental side of. It's obviously like a nuanced Question there. Yeah, I don't know. I was good at certain parts of it. I didn't really worry about the stuff going on around me. I didn't really get psyched out by a semi or a final or whatever. At that point I felt like I had found it. I was insane about preparation if I didn't feel prepared that I could get in my own head. Certainly the one thing that I think is maybe under taught is that in this might fly in the face of everything that you're being taught as a sports psychologist. I think you can get on with with your work when you're in a bad mood or in a bad place. You know, I've said it on this and I was good at that, right? I was good at, you know, losing the 09 Wimbledon final. And then, you know, when I got back and had had four days getting back to work, even though I didn't feel about anything, I was pretty good at that. You know, I think you can put in work to get the work in, not because it's the first thing that you want to do that day or you're in the best place mentally. I think that's, I say that sometimes and people like, well, how do I get in the best place mentally? I'm like, if you play for, you know, if you're on tour for 15 or 20 years, I don't think you're going to be in the best place mentally every day. But I think there's value when your body doesn't know if, you know, a week later after a track workout, I don't think it knew if you were in the, you know, having the warm and fuzzies during that track workout. I think it just knows if you were putting in the yards. So I was good at that part of it. I was good at showing up most days. I was good at competing most days. But I think it's okay to look at it like a job sometimes. I think that's fine. It's like after the US Open, I'm playing in Bangkok somewhere. Is. Do I feel just as excited as I would going into Wimbledon in the US Open? No, absolutely not. Do you still have a, you know, you know, a response, responsibility and a respect to show up and do your best and compete and treat it as big as you can possibly treat it? Absolutely. So I think I was good at those parts of it. You know, I was kind of obsessed with the notion that I had to do all of the little things correctly because I was never going to hit a ball like Rafa or move or, you know, accept pace like Roger. So I was pretty obsessed, but I think I got mental clarity from. From preparation.

[Sean]

Can I ask an extension of this? Because I know I do find it interesting. We talked to Mira in a recent episode, and she referenced her. Her psychologist, you know, a couple times. A lot of these players are now traveling with sports psychologists or using them regularly. You know, how prevalent was that, you know, when you were coming up and, you know, are we seeing this as something that is a real value add, as valuable as a really good strength and conditioning coach?

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah, I think I like now that I feel like people used to use the same sports psychologists, you know, and it wasn't as if they were traveling all the time. So I'm going. I used to get kind of annoyed because it was. It used to feel. And I'm sure we're gonna get someone who goes, that's not the way I did it. I get it. I'm just saying my perception of what happened was that, you know, these sports psychologists would, like, release videos, and then they would teach all of their people the same things. It's like, count to 10, say Woo saw and rub your earlobe. Like, I, you know, is it the same for Pete that it is for Mac that it is for Andre when you have three entirely different personalities? You know, I think I like it now when Mira's talking about it or when other people are using sports psychologists, but it feels very personal. That, I think is at least from outside looking in. Feels like a change that I would kind of gravitate towards. More than going to someone for a half hour, you know, once every two weeks and having them run through, you know, the same thing that they tell everyone. You know, maybe that was just my experience, which wasn't a great one, but I think it's probably come a long way, and frankly, players can afford more people on their staff now.

[Announcer]

This episode is brought to you by Facebook. So you were scrolling on Marketplace, and there it was, the bike you'd been searching for. You sent a message, and it turned out the seller was super chatty, kind of funny, and an avid cyclist. The next thing you know, you. You're in a cycling crew. Well, a community cycling group. The thing about Facebook, you might find more than what you're looking for from a browse to a bike ride this summer. Find more on Facebook.

[Sean]

Next question is from Chambers, and he emailed us this one.

[Listener]

My question to you, Andy, is, is

[Andy Roddick]

what made Lar and makes Larry Stefanki

[Listener]

such a good company Coach? Give me One or two like qualities of his that makes him stand out above all these other coaches.

[Andy Roddick]

Well, Larry's great and there are many, many good coaches. So I'm sure a lot of them do the, the same things. Larry was great at timing, which I would be terrible at as a coach.

[Listener]

Right.

[Andy Roddick]

I'd want to. Someone comes off the court and if I wanted to, if I had to get something out, I mean Mike knows this just from work with me. If I needed to say something and get something out, it has to come out and I don't think that's great as a coach. Right. I think you have to deliver the information when someone's ready to receive it. He was brilliant at that. He was great at seeing the game through his players eyes and what they did well versus you know, the way that he used to see it which was like hit half of a chip forehand and just run in and bluff your way into the net as fast as possible. That's not the way he taught. It was dependent on, on who his, his person was. He didn't flood you with all of the information. He would get in little sound bites when he felt like you were open to doing it. Uh, he was very good about talking through what you were going to do in a training session or a match the night before, before nerves had set in, before you were kind of in your full flow of routine. Uh, so he, he was kind of a master at those small things on when to inject information. Um, you know, bottom up was always a thing with him. You can't start a point until your legs are ready to go. So all of these little things that he was able to take these big concepts and maybe simplify a little bit. But his, his timing was with when he delivered information was a superpower.

[Sean]

Was it was hit you said bottom up. Was he like sneaky good at just getting my new detail work into like, you know, in a way that was easy to digest.

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah, it was okay. So I'll give one example and then we'll move on. And I'm sure all the chuckers are going to be writing this down because it's gold.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Andy Roddick]

But forever I felt, you know, if you, if you saw early in my career my back end was, was rough but I would always kind of have my right foot all the way across my left foot and would be kind of flipping it backhands right. And the footwork was okay. Jimmy Connors helped me relax my, my elbows. He's like soften your elbows and bring them into your rib cage. That really helped my stroke production. But with the footwork piece, it never really felt natural to that side. Larry Stefanki fixed seven things with one note, right? He said, when you're moving to your back inside, he goes, I want you to feel like the ball is always tracking towards your back instep, right? So as the ball's coming at you, if it's coming towards your on a back, if I'm going to a back end and I'm a righty, if it's coming towards your left foot in your left instep, you're normally in good position to hit it, right? And so that means if you're on an open stance, you can play it open off the left side. And then if you have time, it's still track endured your, your. Your left instep, but then you can, you can step in with the right foot also. And that made so much sense to me so quickly, where all of a sudden I had something that I could, I could work with immediately. And it's so the way he says things and explained it were very simple. And then it fixed six other things with, with, with footwork and it made sense. So as my backhand got better, unfortunately I had an injury. I couldn't really hit a forehand anymore. So that was a challenge for him.

[Sean]

That's pretty great, actually. Help a lot of people.

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah.

[Sean]

Next up, this is from Bagel nyc. It's two people asking you three questions, so be ready to write them down.

[Listener]

Hey, I' hi, I'm Michael. We're from Bay Gold, NYC and we're here today at Wimbledon Court at Central park in New York City. We got three questions for you. So the first one is, how many times did you bagel someone on the pro tour? We actually did a little homework on this and we do know the answer, but we're curious if you might know. Our second question is, what was your most memorable Bagel and Alaska question? What's your bagel order?

[Andy Roddick]

I have no idea how many times I bagel someone on tour. I gotta think not many, because I didn't break that often. I had a couple at the Open. I don't know, like five or six times, maybe. Do we know that?

[Sean]

Are they saying, like, fully bagel, like if they're a whole.

[Andy Roddick]

No, no. Just one. No.

[Sean]

Six.

[Andy Roddick]

Zero set? Never.

[Sean]

Yeah. Never would have been.

[Andy Roddick]

No, no, no. I mean, that happened to Medvedev this year in Monte Carlo, and it's the weirdest, it's the worst thing that could ever happen to someone.

[Sean]

I'm Trying to look. I see that you did. Nope.

[Andy Roddick]

No, I didn't. I never won 60 because I couldn't break serve that many times. Like breaking serve 3 times in 1 sec. Get the out of here.

[Sean]

No, I have to ask them. We'll have to ask them to submit.

[Andy Roddick]

It doesn't give us the answer. Wait a minute. So they didn't. They didn't provide the answer that they said they knew?

[Sean]

They're just on the back of the thing?

[Andy Roddick]

No.

[Sean]

All right, well, we probably should have looked that up.

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah. This is where. Okay, hold on, hold on. Watch. Mike's going to come back with the answer right now. Go ahead.

[Sean]

Yeah.

[Andy Roddick]

Great. Thank you. Most memorable bagel. I don't. Obviously I don't think about it much because I can't really remember it. I remember. I remember when I got get bagel. Like that sucked, but I don't. Honestly, I don't remember.

[Sean]

In 2002 in Sydney, round of 16, Bone Dan, you beat him 6064. There you go. There's one.

[Andy Roddick]

Nope.

[Sean]

Okay.

[Andy Roddick]

We're not going to do this. No. I don't know. Bagel. Bagel order. Gosh, I'm a bit of a purist. Just some sloppy cream cheese on something is fantastic. Like, but like, not like the. Like the New York where they'd kind of flip it on and then they smash it all in. That's what I want. That's what I. That's what I think I'm going with. Yeah. So if it's a. If it's just a bagel, then I'm going purist. If it's a sandwich, then I'm going Asiago also.

[Announcer]

Oh.

[Andy Roddick]

How's that feel?

[Sean]

I do a big, big Asiago guy.

[Andy Roddick]

You're a big Asiago guy. Knew it, Sean.

[Sean]

Wait for New York, Sean.

[Andy Roddick]

What do you. Sesame every time? Your sesame. Yeah. Is there truth to the fact that if you eat too many sesame seeds, you can test positive for stuff? I just watched that Seinfeld episode the other day. Yeah. Elaine. Elaine gets a.

[Sean]

Who was that? What was that?

[Andy Roddick]

I never had sesame. Only for that reason, because I didn't know if it was true or not. I'm like, probably not worth it.

[Sean]

That's hilarious.

[Andy Roddick]

I think you have to eat an insane amount of sesame to make that happen.

[Sean]

I don't know.

[Andy Roddick]

If you catch a bagel run, maybe you're just banned. Believe it or not is fucking all over you.

[Sean]

Believe it or not. That wasn't our random question of the day. Play the animation, Sean.

[Andy Roddick]

Time for the random Question of the day.

[Sean]

This one is from Cyrus. Well, it's from Cyrus's mom because he's 8 years old. Play it.

[Listener]

Hi, Mr. Andy. When you were commentating for Wimbledon, was it hard not to say some words that I'm not allowed to say?

[Andy Roddick]

Oh, Cyrus. Thank you, Cyrus's mom. That's the nicest way you could possibly say. See, you can do it on tv. Why don't you do it here? Cyrus, you're the man. Thanks for sending in a video for us. No, it wasn't that hard, which is probably a lesson. I have done lots of live TV over the years and have never gotten in trouble. Knock on wood. So I don't know. I think I do it here more for emphasis than anything. Cyrus, let's. I. I'm a sucker for a kid. Let Cyrus send in your address, and we'll send you a hat or a shirt or whatever we have. We never have anything in stock because it sells out, but we'll send you something. Is that a deal?

[Sean]

Yeah, we can make that happen. We'll email his Cyrus's mom and make that happen.

[Andy Roddick]

Perfect. Thanks for sending in the video, Cyrus. I will get better. I'm going to try to get better so that you can listen to the show more often. And as I tell my kids, you can say whatever you want when you're paying your own rent. What else we got, Mike?

[Sean]

Andy.

[Andy Roddick]

Oh, my God. You're plugging the br. You're talking about the US Open.

[Sean]

Yeah, yeah. You got to watch all this tennis so you can know who's dialed in.

[Andy Roddick]

You are. You are on it. You're very excited.

[Listener]

I am.

[Andy Roddick]

All right, well, yeah, Sign up for the bracket challenge. It's in six months. And we'll see you next week.

[Sean]

And we'll figure out how many times you bagel somebody, because we probably should have figured it out.

[Andy Roddick]

Yeah, just edit that in. Just don't leave out my edit part where we didn't know. All right, we'll see you next week.
