Andy Roddick has surprised the tennis world by revealing a surreal anecdote about David Ferrer when they were both still playing on the circuit. After Coco Gauff stated at Wimbledon 2026 that she didn’t get tired after a tennis match, the former world number 1 disclosed that the one who impressed him the most was David Ferrer, as he had incredible cardio despite smoking tobacco.
In his podcast ‘Served’, Roddick shared this funny anecdote about ‘Ferru’, which he has described as the most psychotic thing he has ever seen in his life. “I once saw David Ferrer play a three-set match at Indian Wells and then I was driving home and saw him running and later that night I went to dinner at a hotel and passed by the bar where he was smoking a cigarette. He didn’t get tired and he was smoking cigarettes,” he confessed.
Anecdote that surprises due to the protagonist
Ferrer reached number 3 in the ATP rankings, and even had a winning head-to-head record against Roddick. Additionally, the former Spanish tennis player and current Davis Cup captain for Spain was one of the most combative and fastest players to have been on the circuit. He fought for every point until the end, so it is surprising with this anecdote from the American considering that smoking cigarettes didn’t affect his performance on the court.
It is unclear whether it was an occasional anecdote, or if Ferrer was a regular smoker, but it seems that this image has stayed with Roddick to this day, as he still remembers it as the most surreal thing he has seen related to tennis. It is not very common for a tennis player to smoke, or at least not known, and what no one expected was to see David as the protagonist of such a crazy story.
