Tennis legend John McEnroe has no doubt Andy Roddick can still be a major force in men's tennis if he ever decides to make his return to the ATP Tour circuit.

In an interview with Marc Malusis of New York City radio station WFAN on Tuesday, McEnroe didn't have any second thought that Roddick can still compete with regular ATP players. As a matter of fact, he still thinks the former US Open winner and Wimbledon championships contender can still crack into the top-20 of the world rankings at age of 34.

"He should be on the main tour still," McEnroe told host Marc Malusis. "He's 34, so he's actually a year younger than Roger Federer and a few other guys that are actually still in the Top 20 of the game.

"I believe if Roddick was playing and training the way you need to play best of five-we're playing one set each, and then the winner plays another set, so that's obviously a lot different than going to the French or Wimbledon or the U.S. Open and playing best of five-he'd still be in the Top 20, for sure, the way he plays."

Roddick was four years removed from his professional tennis career after retiring following the 2012 US Open championship. However, he's still participating in several Pro-Am events, including the Powershares QQQ Cup at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
