'I found my wife Brooklyn on the pages of a swimsuit magazine,' says Andy Roddick

For a busy tennis pro on the tour circuit there can't be too many opportunities to meet glamorous women. But while skimming a copy of US magazine Sports Illustrated's swimwear edition in 2006, one model in particular caught his eye.

And resourceful tennis star Andy Roddick, 26, got his agent Ken Meyerson to contact the model in question, stunning blonde Brooklyn Decker, 21, to ask for a date.

Maybe not the most romantic of starts, but following a number of phone calls to Brooklyn's 'people', she finally agreed to meet the 6ft 2in player. Miss Decker's career began after she was spotted at the age of 16 in a shopping mall in North Carolina. She quickly gave up her studies to become a fashion model. The couple married in April this year at their home in Austin, Texas, and it's fair to say that the swimsuit model is now Roddick's number fan.

...and that’s not even a good picture of her!

I know people will disagree, but from the neck down, she's pure woman. But, from the neck up, she's kind of "mannish", like a lot of modern models.

There was nothing mannish about Cheryl Tiegs, Raquel Welch or even Christie Brinkley. But, for whatever reason, the aesthetic that's been foisted upon us by fashion editors has been women with very masculine looking faces.

As for Roddick, it's kind of juvenile to have you buddy ask a girl out for you, but I guess if you can pull it off, you pull it off.

You know you’ve made it when you’re using the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition as a mail-order catalog.

Not guilty.

It happens, even to the best-looking ones. In my previous job, we had a co-worker here in L.A. who wouldn’t show up for work because he was out on casting calls and he was extremely shy. He would ask us to approach women in the bar..even when they’re the ones who ask us about him. It was insane. The guy was 6’3, blonde, blue eyed, and a better looking Heath ledger BUt he would look down when a hottie would come up to him.

Why would he admit something like that?

[Trajan88]

I need to get super-agent Ken Meyerson to scam babes for me... I see a lot of hotties but I have no way to get a hold of them... hey Ken, work your magic and have Ms. Milani give me a ring:

[fieldmarshaldj]

He threw Mandy Moore over for her ? Well, Anj always was a boob man...

[Yossarian]

Class act, that Roddick.

[fieldmarshaldj]

If I had done that with my former fiancee out in public, I’d have had my undercarriage permanently realigned.

[mlizzy]

Andy Roddick is annoying.

[numberonepal]

Yep. Nice fun bags.

[RichInOC]

“Excellent choice, sir!”

[Paradox]

Actually, I don’t think she is very pretty, maybe a 7 out of 10, and considering this was a professionally taken photo, I hate to think what she looks like undone.

ROTFLMAO - yeah you have a REAL good point
