Andy Roddick is to join new American sports network Fox Sports 1 as co-host on Fox Sports Live, the channel's flagship daily panel show.

Roddick, who's been the number one tennis player in the world and is famed for winning the US Open in 2003, retired from the sport last summer. Fox Sports Vice President Scott Ackerman commented 'Andy is not only an expert tennis analyst, but his knowledge, candor and opinions on all sports are equally as impressive'.
