​

"Come see us :) @JimmyConnors @theARFoundation. I’ll be the moderator for the convo w one of my idols, former coach, and favorite people," Roddick tweeted.

One Twitter user opined that, based on what they had heard, watched and read, Connors seemed to be "rather insufferable" and quite the opposite of Roddick.

​

"Based largely on what I’ve heard, watched and read (Agassi’s book)… I’ve always perceived Connors to be a rather insufferable personality. I think of the opposite of you… so it strikes me as a really off pairing. So, whose assessment do I have wrong? Lol!," the user tweeted.

@gator_brent @JimmyConnors @theARFoundation People can change I guess. Andre certainly has over time as well. I was fortunate to see the best of all of them (my tennis heroes) I think Jimmy is often misunderstood. Didn’t know him when he was playing but he’s always been a loyal friend to me
