Andy Roddick, former world No. 1 tennis player, said: "From traveling around the world throughout my tennis career to spending quality time with family on vacations, I'm no stranger to spending many nights at hotels. My collaboration with IHG Hotels & Resorts brings to life exactly how I like to customize my hotel experiences by recharging after a strenuous workout or winding down after a jam-packed day of meetings. I'm excited to give a behind-the-scenes look into how I've spent a large part of my life in between matches and family time."

In addition to the 'Guest How Andy Roddick Guests' offering, IHG is giving fans the chance to stay in an over-the-top tennis-themed room, The IHG Racquet Room, at the Kimpton Hotel Eventi. The ultimate tennis lover can now sleep on a gigantic tennis ball bed or lounge on it while watching the matches.

We are thrilled to be collaborating with tennis legend Andy Roddick for a second time, and even more delighted to bring his very own hotel room must-haves into a one-of-a-kind hotel experience guests can enjoy during the US Open."
