Roddick reacts to Hall of Fame nomination

The last American man to win a Slam will be inducted alongside Ki

Andy Roddick will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017 alongside four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters. The last American man to win a Grand Slam title (the 2003 US Open), had a simple first response to hearing the news:

He's also pretty excited about his co-nominee.

While Clijsters is busy growing her family to match her major titles (she's on baby No. 3), Roddick has been delivering amusing and informative live commentary on Persicope during the US Open. He's finally brought his viral act to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center grounds.

Given Roddick's broadcast sponsors are Chase and Grey Goose, your safest bet to see him this weekend at the US Open is near the Honey Deuce cocktail suppliers.

Roddick, also the last American man to reach No. 1, retired in 2012, while Clijsters finished her career the following year. The other Class of 2017 nominees are Paralympic gold medalist Monique Kalkman, journalist Steve Flink and the late Vic Braden.
