Brooklyn Decker overshadows her husband the tennis champion Andy Roddick
One of the perks that come along with being a famous celebrity is getting everything you want. Celebrities in sports are some of the most pampered and spoilt individuals. They have people surrounding them 24/7, running their errands and catering to their needs while they put their utmost effort into developing their career as an athlete. Tennis players are one of the richest athletes in the world today this is why they do not shy away from demanding what they want at all.
Andy Roddick, who is a former world number one and is the number one in America, is an example of what we call a true tennis celebrity. He made his major breakthrough into the world of tennis when he won his first Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2003. He has reached three Wimbledon finals and one US Open final after this but he has been unable to win. He is best known for his amazing and powerful serve and he is a record holder for the fastest ever serve in the history of professional tennis. He is currently ranked number nine in the world.
It is not surprising to learn that a hunk like Roddick is married to a stunning and glamorous woman like Brooklyn Decker. Decker is an American fashion model. Her numerous appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue have made thousands of men go crazy over her. Along with her career as a model, she has made guest appearances in the television series ‘Ugly Betty’ and ‘Royal Plains’.
Any man would want Brooklyn Decker as their companion but Andy Roddick had the celebrity factor which gave him a niche above all others. The tale of these two lovers is quite intriguing. Roddick was flipping through pages of Sports Illustrated when he laid eyes on the dazzling Brooklyn Decker and instantly decided that she was the girl for him. He was not going to settle for anyone else and made his agent call Decker’s agent. The two met up and started going out in 2007 and two years later they were both married on 17th of April 2009. The couple have been together ever since.
While Roddick’s career has not been in full form, Brooklyn continues to bedazzle the world with her beauty. She has been pictured in every Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue since 2006. Sports Illustrated is one of the most renowned sports magazine in America. It was expected that Andy Roddick would make it to the cover with his achievements in tennis but his wife Brooklyn has beaten him to this feat. She has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated just recently this year. This is an indication to Roddick that he needs to work harder and win another Grand Slam title to put his professional tennis career at a peak again.
Just last week, at the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly (ESPY) Award ceremony, Brooklyn again stole her husband’s thunder by getting most of the publicity. She had all eyes on her when she showed up at the event in a baby pink dress which highlighted her curves to a full extent. No wonder she got all the attention while Roddick was pushed back into a corner. The hype should have been created for the tennis star, considering it was an event in the name of sports, not for the wife. Yet who can blame the media for drooling all over Brooklyn, for when the package is that hot it cannot be avoided.
With both Brooklyn and Roddick working full time it is difficult for the couple to find time to spend together. However, Roddick should be more focused towards developing his game because all of us can see that his wife Brooklyn sure is focused towards her career.
