Roddick, who won the US Open in 2003 when he defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final, has now provided his verdict.
Speaking on his Quick Served podcast, the former tennis star stated: "I think we save the general weirdness of the day.
"I don’t know that I’ve ever been at the US Open when I saw no less than 47 machine guns today, guys. It was strange.
"I was doing suite visits. It was strange. They delayed a final because of it, I guess."
