Andy Roddick thinks Novak Djokovic’s destroying a player ranked outside the top-700 is the best proof of how ridiculous the claim was that recreational players could win points and probably games against pro players.<\/p>\n

Several months ago, there was a poll making rounds on X when the majority of club players expressed their opinion that winning points against pro players wasn’t as hard as some would think. At the time, Roddick and some other past and present players slammed the take as nonsense.<\/p>\n

This past weekend, Djokovic played against world No. 770 Ioannis Xilas in the Davis Cup and dismantled the Greek 6-0 6-1. Although Xilas – who is currently enjoying a career-high ranking – made some deep runs at the ITF level this year, he stood no chance against the 24-time Grand Slam champion and he just barely avoided a double bagel.<\/p>\n

Reacting to that result, the 2003 US Open champion cheekily wrote: “Do we remember that poll that said something like the majority of club players said that they could win a game ???”<\/p>\n
