**SPEAKER_4** (1:41)
No, we're in a beautiful hotel room.

**Andy Roddick** (1:42)
We are in a, this is a nice hotel room. I really, really like it. We are here tonight because Rafa's documentary, it's US. Premiere, is tonight. There's a little conversation afterwards, and they were out of options, so I am here to run that conversation.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:01)
No, I mean, they had limited options. They weren't out of options.

**Andy Roddick** (2:04)
That's fair. How many times do you think I can get Rafa to say, thank you very much?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:10)
At the end, at least.

**Andy Roddick** (2:12)
If I don't get over, under, three.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:15)
Three?

**Andy Roddick** (2:15)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:16)
Three, I'm gonna go under.

**Andy Roddick** (2:17)
Under?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:18)
Yeah. Sean's off camera. Sean, what are you gonna do? Are you taking the over?

**Andy Roddick** (2:21)
I'll take the over.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:22)
All right, Sean said he's taking the over.

**Andy Roddick** (2:23)
Can we get you to do a back flip? If you...

**SPEAKER_4** (2:24)
Ah, I'm so sad that I don't have to do it.

**Andy Roddick** (2:28)
I know. We are sad for Kostiuk.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:30)
Yes.

**Andy Roddick** (2:31)
Because we're in front of the show, we like her.
Andreeva was phenomenal. She's been a phenomenal start to finish. She's barely been challenged. It's not as if she got through an early round match and then kind of found something. She has been just, I mean, in form players, good players and in form players. Drilled Kristea last round. Kostiuk today just had nothing. It was tough conditions to win, always affects ball strikers more than people that kind of manipulate paces and shot shapes and everything else, which Andreeva was really, really good at. Kostiuk was even, you could see her motioning to her box, like the ball's at, can't really find the place.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:07)
She was talking about it being up too high and it was kicking too high and she just couldn't get on top of it.

**Andy Roddick** (3:11)
And when you rely on like puring the ball through the court and there's wind and variance to where you're having to make last minute adjustments, similar to Sabalenka, the last two years at Roland Garros, the same thing happens and it looked gross out there. But Andreeva has so much variety. She's able to adjust and she's so young. She's going to be a problem for a lot of people for a long time. She's serving great. She's strong. Like you look at her now compared to two years ago, you felt like people might just be able to go through all the time. She's really strong and she's able to play with that variety.
I don't want to give her the kiss of death, but I think she's been the best player in this tournament start to finish.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:54)
I mean, she's 21 clay wins more than any other man or woman so far.

**Andy Roddick** (3:59)
Yeah. The story that tells me, though, is, yes, she's been playing great and she played a very heavy clay schedule. Remember, she didn't play well in Miami and Indian Wells. Obviously, her strategy was to load up on clay and try to find some form. And guess what? She found it. Found it in a big way. It was so straightforward. There's not even that much to dissect or the many moments. First ball, last ball, she was getting the pattern she wants. She was getting it out of caustic zone, was making her move into the court, out of the court. And then someone who has that kind of variability but also can pump it through the court when they need to. There's a lot to solve for with Andreeva.
