Does Brooklyn Decker's confidence in her athletic abilities outshine Andy Roddick's tennis career?

Andy Roddick may have stepped away from the courts, but his quick wit and humor have kept him firmly in the spotlight. Whether he’s dishing out hot takes on tennis or diving into behind-the-scenes stories, he’s never one to shy away from a laugh. But this time, his latest “commentary” hit a little closer to home. Who’s in his sights? None other than his wife, Brooklyn Decker, whose recent athletic attempt had Roddick—and his fans—rolling in laughter.

The 42-year-old engaged in an interaction with Jon Wertheim for the October 29 episode of Served with Roddick podcast. They deliberated on a wide range of topics including the recent performances of players like Qinwen Zheng, Jack Draper, and Giovanni Perricard. But the major highlight of the interview turned out to be a playful jibe that the former player took at his own wife and mocked her latest head-first dive.

In a recent video that was shared on Decker’s social media, she was seen making a head-first dive during an event at her son Hank’s school. When quizzed about his reaction to the same, Roddick said, “She’s in the middle of production now, she needs teeth like she’s shooting a show, right now. She needs teeth so, anyways my wife and I are literally in school pickup for our third grader and our first grader and we’re walking in and I don’t know I think we were talking about our son Hank’s baseball game like this 9-year-old baseball, it’s his first year.” He then explained the game and shared that her wife claimed that she could do a head-for-head slide.

So Brooke was like you know I could head for a head slide I’m like you’ve never done it before. She goes athletically, if “I just think about it I can do it,” I’m like no how do you have more confidence in your athletic ability than I ever had in my entire life?” Roddick added. In the video, Roddick was seen totally amazed by the stunt of his wife as he recorded the video from the front. Remember, the couple started dating in 2007 before getting engaged a year later. They finally tied the knot two years later and were blessed with two kids, their son Hank and daughter Stevie. Since then, they have often engaged in such cheeky gestures that have mesmerized the fans.

In March this year, Decker playfully expressed her anger at Roddick as she revealed the bizarre gift he gave to his wife. Detailing the same, she took to her social media she wrote, “Odd gift choice or Am I a d*ck?.” She further explained the odd choice and revealed, “Next month is my birthday and it’s our 15-year wedding anniversary and then shortly after that Mother’s Day follows. And, my husband very excitedly told me this weekend that he got me a treadmill. Treadmill for all three of the holidays.” This took many by surprise with several people expressing their amazement. But while the couples share romantic and cheeky moments now, the initial phase of their relationship was strewn with thorns, and Roddick himself opened up about this.

Speaking in the interview, Roddick said, “I went from, ‘I don’t think I’m gonna get in a serious relationship forever,’ and then we were engaged in, like, six months. And then we really got to know each other.” Decker too, joined in the fray and shed her perspective on the evolution. “With our relationship, I think that ego and insecurity about failing – and failing publicly – was very much a motivation to put our heads together and figure this out,” Brooklyn Decker said.

The romance between the couple has continued to be in the limelight. It will now be interesting to see if Decker comes out to hit back at her husband with yet more humor, thereby mesmerizing the fans again.
