**SPEAKER_5** (1:31)
Did you know there's a premium AKG sound system in here?
With compatible Dolby Atmos music, the sound feels like it's surrounding you. Not just coming from the speakers, which is something we knew about today. One thing that we did know about today, when I last saw you at four o'clock, you did not have that haircut.

**Andy Roddick** (1:47)
Yeah, so one of the problems with my life is that the sides of my hair grow at about a 4x rate of the top of my head these days. So when it goes like this, it's a two-fold problem. All right, it goes wider and poofier, and the bald spots become more prominent, right?
So what I tried to do, and maybe it was a fucking swing, I try to tighten it up so the bald look less bald.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:23)
I mean, honestly, the math, math's, it looks pretty good. But Sean, I was wondering, you know, did you show the barber this photo of Sean? Oh, barber? Yeah.

**Andy Roddick** (2:34)
I'm my barber.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:35)
You did this? No way.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:36)
You looked in the mirror and you didn't want the Tovia Maguire from...

**Andy Roddick** (2:39)
I mean, I would love that.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:40)
He doesn't need it.

**Andy Roddick** (2:42)
He's not trying to cover up his weaknesses.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:43)
Or you went Jim Carrey from...

**SPEAKER_1** (2:45)
Yeah, see, all of these people you're showing me have full lettuce.

**Andy Roddick** (2:49)
They're not dealing... They don't know my problems.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:50)
What, Tom Hanks?

**Andy Roddick** (2:52)
He doesn't know my problems.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:55)
Luckily, Sean's putting these up on screen.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:57)
You full-haired motherfuckers.

**Andy Roddick** (3:00)
I'm right behind you.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:01)
Sorry. Sorry. No, that's fine.

**Andy Roddick** (3:04)
I'm glad we talked about it. I'm sweating.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:07)
I'm glad there's premium AKG.

**Andy Roddick** (3:10)
Yeah, I got a lot of people who said I look like Forrest Gump. Did you? Yeah.
That seemed to be the first one off the thing.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:18)
Well, too bad there's nobody named Jenny in the draw. So.

**Andy Roddick** (3:21)
You got.
What if a tennis player works? I know what love is. You can do it.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:28)
I was really into that. All right.

**Andy Roddick** (3:30)
Actually, thanks for watching. We're not going to talk tennis tonight. We're just going to.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:35)
All right.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:35)
It's a weird transition from that.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:37)
I'm so sorry.

**Andy Roddick** (3:39)
I am too. You take a shot, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:41)
I'm so sorry.

**Andy Roddick** (3:43)
Win some, lose most. Here we are.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:47)
Unlike these players tonight.

**Andy Roddick** (3:49)
Yeah. I don't know. All I can think about is a trip to Istanbul right now.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:53)
Stop. Sorry.

**Andy Roddick** (3:57)
Andreeva won.

**SPEAKER_5** (3:58)
Let's start with Andreeva.

**Andy Roddick** (3:59)
Yeah.
She's just good. She plays Coco next. Coco is 5-0 in that matchup. I actually didn't realize that it was that lopsided. You know, I don't know what you say about Mira. She's maybe one of the only people that can match the variety of Coco. Okay. But I'm just telling you, Coco tonight, I thought Jovic played pretty well. When Coco has her serve right, she always breaks. I think it frees her up from the baseline a little bit. Okay. The amount of ground she was covering, Jovic was hitting five, six, seven quality shots per point and then sometimes losing them. That is demoralizing when you're a player. She is shrinking the court to where you're only hitting a winner if you're bringing the ball within inches of the line. I thought it was a masterful performance from her tonight. I think her tennis IQ, when to shade certain places, when to run the spots, anticipate. Her movement is the best in women's tennis.
