American Andy Roddick officially announced his engagement to Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker. The World No. 6 proposed to the 20-year-old Ohio native in early March, but confirmed the engagement Monday on his official website.

"The couple wanted to tell their family and close friends first but good news travels fast. By the time Andy arrived in Miami for the Sony Ericsson Open, the tournament was bustling with the news," said the announcement on andyroddick.com.

"With their hectic travel schedules, Andy and Brooklyn plan to enjoy their engagement and will wait to set a wedding date."

In addition to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Decker has appeared in the pages of Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue and Glamour and has modeled for Gap and Victoria's Secret.

Roddick and Decker have been dating since they met last autumn in New York City.

For those who would like to...ahem.....see a bit more of Roddick's lady, the atp site has very helpfully provided a link to some very nice pictures of her...... ;)2

she can obviously deal with his profuse sweating then :giggle:

Roger may have the skills, but Andy certainly gets to have the thrills.... Scherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr wwinnggggggggggggg!!!! :yep: :yep:

she's definitely an attractive young lady :) who appears to enjoy wearing bikinis......wonder what andy sees in her :P

*hopes Andy will soon join in the frolicking on a beach sans clothes*

really???? roddick???? definitely not my type...... :nope:

I'll own that she's a looker, but looks and thrills don't necessarily go hand in glove (see Max Mosley thread for further info). Mirka may have 'cleopatra's grip' for all we know...

now i've got images in my head i'm not sure that i want..... :yikes:

Mirka is quite cute I think too, in a girl next door way....

But I think Andy's bride-to-be looks like really quite dirty.... ;) ;) and at 20 I reckon she has some energy in her. ;) ;)

cold shower time Gav??? :P

Quite right Jo.... Time to calm down the old urges.... ;) ;)

gotta say - fairly quick engagement for A-Rod.....met her in August, proposed in early March...... :blink: obviously doesn't wanna let her get away ;)

He obviously doesn't want someone with such an amazing personality to get away from him....

I hear she also has a nice pair of jugs, made from Porcelain if I remember correctly. And she has a fantastic streamline rug downstairs.

:coat:

back to the cold shower with you young man!!!! :tsk:

Oh no :lol: All very yee-hah grass chewing there. Does she do anything but cowboy hats, haystacks and horses? :lol: Very erm .... I never heard fo her, I thought only folks like Posh and Becks called their children Brooklyn.

Word in your shell Mr Roddick - good luck but how many times do we see stars marriages to models end in tears? Still I expect you have a good lawyer, but I think you should consider giving Trisco a go first - he's not after your money, and I hear he looks good in the cowboy getup, especially his chaps. :D

Does she have a 'wazzo' pair of jugs? :D

To adapt a famous quote from a spoof British chat show:

"What first attracted you to multimillionaire Andy Roddick?"

:whistle:

Congratulations to Andy R. I hope they have a happy life together. :bigkiss:

surely it should be "so what first attracted you to swimsuit model brooklyn?" :P

:sicky: :sicky:
