Andy Roddick continues to bring his trademark competitiveness and creativity to the burgeoning world of pickleball.
As he prepares for the third edition of the **Pickleball Slam**, scheduled for February 16, 2024, the 2003 US Open champion remains committed to honing his skills while also infusing some fun into the game.
Recently, he revealed an intriguing addition to his arsenal: a new move he has coined the **”Turkey Shot”** in the festive spirit of Thanksgiving.
Although Roddick hasn’t shared the technical details of this new shot, he teased its execution in a lighthearted Instagram post, sparking curiosity among fans.
His innovative approach reflects the playful yet competitive spirit that has drawn him to pickleball, a sport that has rapidly gained popularity in the U.S.
Roddick’s enthusiasm for pickleball is evident, especially given his successful history in the sport’s burgeoning showcase events. He triumphed in the inaugural Pickleball Slam in 2023, teaming up with fellow tennis legend Andre Agassi to defeat John McEnroe and Michael Chang.
This time, the stakes are higher as Roddick and Canadian star Eugenie Bouchard will face Agassi and tennis icon Steffi Graf, the reigning champions of Pickleball Slam 2.
Beyond the court, Roddick remains deeply engaged with the broader tennis and sports community, often offering insightful commentary on trending topics, including recent collaborations like Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray teaming up for the 2024 Australian Open. However, his current focus is squarely on his pickleball commitments and bringing his competitive edge to Las Vegas.
Fans eagerly await not only Roddick’s performance but also the potential unveiling of the mysterious “Turkey Shot,” which could add an extra layer of excitement to the already highly anticipated event.
