Andy Roddick and Serena Williams Take Tennis To Twitter!!!

Tennis star Andy Roddick, known for having the fastest serve in the world, has been showing his game off the court, too, via Twitter. Since tennis stars are unhindered by team owners, head coaches and the like, Twitter is running rampant on and off the court, according to The New York Times. Roddick might not be the sport's darling he once was, but he's certainly tennis' tweeting phenom -- microblogging himself into a friendly derriere competition with Serena Williams and making bathroom humor with Justin Gimelstob. For his part, Gimelstob has proved Twitter-savvy, too. While players aren't allowed to have cell phones on the court, Gimelstob bypassed the rules during the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships by handing notes to a ball girl who would then run them to a friend that tweeted the messages. Basketball, baseball, and football teams might discipline players for tweeting about the inner workings of their sports, but don't expect tennis to take the same stance. Expect to hear more about Roddick's dog, or Serena's post-tennis aspirations. In this age, that's entertainment, folks
