Andy Roddick, Christopher Eubanks, and Alexis Ohanian were among several people who reacted to the heated Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Former President Donald Trump went head-to-head with Vice President Kamala Harris for a debate that lasted more than 90 minutes.

This was the first debate between the two with the Election Day eight weeks away. Throughout their debate, some prominent names in tennis shared their thoughts on social media including Andy Roddick and Alexis Ohanian.

Here is a list of prominent tennis figures to comment on the Presidential Debate in the USA.


#1 Andy Roddick

Andy Roddick is one of the most active tennis figures on social media. He constantly shared his opinion during the debate. The former World No. 1 targetted Donald Trump and his policies while tweeting in support of Kamala Harris.

Roddick posted a sarcastic tweet attacking Trump and his refusal to accept defeat in the 2020 elections. The former American tennis star was supposedly responding to Trump's claim that the Ukraine-Russia war would have never happened if he was the President.

"Wimbledon finals 2009 would have never happened if I was there ……. Never woulda happened," Andy Roddick tweeted.

#2 Christopher Eubanks

American hotshot Christopher Eubanks tweeted throughout the Presidential Debate. He laughed off Donald Trump's claim that the illegal immigrants are eating the pet dogs and cats.

"“THEY’RE EATING THE DOGGGGSSSSS” took me out," Eubanks tweeted.

Eubanks further claimed that he felt Trump turned the question against racism to the American economy quickly.

"He pivoted that race question over to the economy REAL QUICK."
"I haven’t seen buddy pick up his pen and take a single note yet lol," the American added.

#3 Alexis Ohanian

Serena Williams' husband also weighed in with his opinion during the Presidential Debate. Donald Trump claimed that the illegal immigrants targeted families and kidnapped their pets before eating them. This was rebuffed by the invigilator and Kamala Harris.

Ohanian's tweet was re-tweeted by Andy Roddick and Martina Navratilova.

"Gonna hug my dogs extra tonight. No one's gonna eat you guys," Alexis Ohanian said.

#4 Pam Shriver

The former American tennis star tweeted in support of Kamala Harris during the Presidential Debate. Shriver felt that Harris dominated Trump during the 90-minute event and showed her appreciation on Twitter.

"6-2 6-1 @KamalaHarris game set Match," Shriver wrote.

#5 Brad Gilbert

Coco Gauff's coach Brad Gilbert was disappointed by the lack of discussion about gun violence during the Trump-Harris debate.

"Not talking about assault rifles guns, neither want to talk about or i guess not on moderators mind, i guess everyone forgets about the heinous school shootings and other other mass killings," Gilbert wrote.

The topic was eventually discussed during the debate where Kamala Harris claimed that they need to find the middle ground to the problem but completely banning guns will not be possible.


#6 Martina Navratilova

Martina Navratilova tweeted in favor of Kamala Harris during the Presidential Debate. The former tennis star retweeted a few tweets against Trump and claimed that Harris won the first debate by a landslide.

Navratilova quoted and agreed with a tweet that claimed that Trump had a disastrous debate but it is still hard to claim who wins the Presidential race.


#7 Rennae Stubbs

Rennae Stubbs tweeted constantly during the Presidential Debate. The former tennis star targeted Trump for his policies.

""Whatever she wants to be! I don't care!" Dude she's of Indian/Jamaican decent born in the USA! That's who and what she is....." Stubbs tweeted.
"I'm going to make a shirt that says "I have a concept of a plan,"" the American further wrote.
