Andy Roddick caught Carlos Alcaraz off guard during a live ESPN interview at the 2026 US Open. Roddick told the Spanish player who his next opponent would be. Alcaraz had not seen the result yet. He looked visibly stunned on camera.
Roddick also commented on Filipino teenager Alex Eala's campaign in New York. "This is real," he said, adding her expanding fanbase is not going away. Eala has pulled big crowds and a lot of attention across the two weeks in New York.
