Wimbledon: Love at first sight!

In the UK, Wimbledon is the 'Super Bowl & the Kentucky Derby' of sport. You see, we play tennis in England, and lots of it and this weekend is the men's singles finals with Andy Roddick who will play on the center court against his arch rival Roger Federer. This will be a fantastic match although Federer is the heavy favorite because of his winning record against Roddick.

That being said Andy Roddick has one person to thank for his center court appearance - his wife, Brooklyn Decker! She kept him going when he wanted to quit. Decker is a former Sports Illustrated swim suit model who Roddick fell in love flipping through the pages one day and instantly stopped at her page and it was love at first sight. Isn't that sweet! She claims to know very little about tennis and is constantly photographed in the audience when her new husband is playing. They got married in April.

As you can see, she is absolutely stunning and is the talk of Wimbledon and all the parties that you want to get invited to. She dresses so cute and fashionable and is very sweet when she is interviewed. Of course, every interview, televised or print has a picture of her in her sexy swimsuits and why not, she beautiful and beauty sells. I think people want Roddick to win so they can see more of her. (I put a picture of her in this post just to show you what I mean and what happens when everyone writes about her. I figured you secretly wanted to know.) :)

Roddick has said that it was 'Brook' who kept him going this year as he was about to quit tennis altogether after being eliminated early last year at Wimbledon. We'll see what happens but it should be fun to watch.

I also want to wish every American a happy 4th of July!
