Any well-known player can get a wild-card. If Roger wants to play, you give it to him," Roddick comments on the case of Venus Williams
Andy Roddick shared his thoughts on the Washington tournament's decision to grant Venus Williams a wild-card.
For him, it’s a legitimate decision, and her presence only benefits the tournament. He stated: "I always say that if you're a tournament organizer, any player whose name is recognized can probably get a wild-card anytime, anywhere.
If Roger wants to play next week, as a tournament organizer, you give him a wild card.
She’s won five Wimbledons, seven Grand Slams, and is part of the most iconic family in tennis history. And I think her presence here is a win for the tournament and for the city of Washington.
