Andy Roddick may have never won Wimbledon as a player, but he apparently did in his debut as a television commentator for the BBC.

The former American star, and the last U.S. man to win a Grand Slam, made his debut as a BBC commentator on Wednesday and earned rave reviews on Twitter, a medium that’s usually used to tell television analysts (and bloggers) how much they suck. In the U.S., Roddick could only be heard on one ESPN3 feed or the BBC stream (if a viewer could figure out how to mask his or her IP address), but he was every bit as funny, witty, acerbic and likable as he was during his career. During two early rain delays, Roddick was hailed as a champion, merely for his punditry.

ESPN, please make a move for him. Shoot, put him on Fox’s U.S. Open golf broadcast and he’d have improved it like 95%.

Since I didn’t hear all of Roddick’s day, this compilation of his best quotes is both from my own ears and trusted ones on Twitter (namely @FortyDeuceTwits, who you should be following if you have a modicum of interest in tennis).

10. On Nick Kyrgios: “So long as the personality comes from a place of passion, I’m all for it. The not trying thing? I can’t get with that at all.”

9. On a Djokovic forehand: “It’s like he’s playing video game shots!”

8. On what he and his pregnant wife Brooklyn Decker are having: “A human.”

7. On Roger Federer’s ball toss: “It’s impossible to read and it’s really annoying when you play him.” (Emphasis added.)

6. On whether he’s met David Beckham (in attendance on Centre Court): “I haven’t yet but I have long been an admirer of his hair. Great hair.”

5. On Djokovic’s eating habits: “I didn’t even know what gluten meant when I played here. Maybe I should have, I might have won.”

4. On whether Henman Hill should be renamed Murray Mound: “I can moonwalk better than Michael Jackson, but he did it first.”

3. On Stefan Edberg coaching Federer: “I can think of tougher jobs.”

2. On David Nalbandian’s 2012 incident at Queen’s Club: “Didn’t he go Fight Club on a referee?”

1. On leaving the game at 30: “That’s why I retired. I was up 5-4 on Novak.
