OlderAndy Roddick Plays Final Tennis Match, Brooklyn Decker Cries
Andy Roddick plays his final competitive tennis match ever during day ten of the 2012 U.S. Open on Wednesday (September 5) at the USTA Billie Jean King Center in the Queens neighborhood of New York City.
The 30-year-old athlete’s wife Brooklyn Decker watched on in tears as Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina beat the retiring player in four sets.
“For the first time in my career I’m not sure what to say. Where do I start? Since I was a kid, I’ve been coming to this tournament and felt lucky to sit where all of you are sitting today and watch this game and see all the champions that have come and gone. I’ve loved every minute of it,” Andy said in a post-game interview. “It’s been a road of a lot of ups and downs, a lot of great moments. I appreciate your support all the way. I really do appreciate and love you guys with all my heart. Hopefully I’ll come back to this place one day and see all of you again.”
Andy also paid tribute to his family and his agent Ken Meyerson, who passed away last year.

Felicitaciones Del Potro! Un gran gesto el dejar que Andy tuviera su momento :D
He sucks and he knows it.
That’s why he decided to retire.
Good decision.
I didn’t know they got married…
I didn’t even know they were married, lol. O.o
How did he ever become so popular? LOL
So this means Brooklyn isnt going to be on the spotlight anymore?
PROUD, Love and respect… this man had his moment in tennis world… Respect the player he was and he is… respect the person that he is… If don’t like him… don’t comment…
Team Andy 4ever!
U did great Champion!
How come every major tennis star is a tall guy with curly hair named Andy?
Aww his wife is so sweet, supporting him like that <3
@M: That’s what i was thinking.haha
Good luck to Andy in whatever he pursues next.
@M: Brooklyn is an actress and slowly creating a name for herself. Even though she’s married to Andy Roddick…she just isn’t Mrs. Andy Roddick. You can tell she really loves her husband.
@BHH: Yes, that’s why she couldn’t stop partying with Taylor Kitsch, all up on him, throwing herself at him, during Battleship’s world tour: because she “loves her husband”. Please, she must be already looking for the next guy to keep her on the spotlight. She NEVER supported her husband, she was only with him now on every game because of his announcement, knowing that the media was paying attention.
@Kiki: those r crocodile tears…LOL
I Miss Andy On Court :(
All very well with Andy … And the photos of the winner? … It seems unfair that there is a photo of Juan Martin del Potro… :/
