Andy Roddick was a prodigiously gifted and widely recognized tennis player. Many tennis fans still fondly recall the days when the American tennis pro was a formidable opponent to Roger Federer. The former world number one’s aggressive play and destructive serve made him a joy to watch on the court.

The 40-year-old married American model, Brooklyn Decker, three years before he retired in 2009. Since then, the couple has been showered with praise from both the entertainment industry and tennis enthusiasts. Decker, in one of her interviews, revealed an instance where Roddick had his lawyer call her so that he could finally catch up with her.
