Swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker convinced then-boyfriend Andy Roddick to stay with his tennis a year ago as the former No. 1 suffered a crisis of confidence after a second-round shutdown at Wimbledon.
"Last year after I played here, that was a hard, hard couple of weeks", Roddick said after reaching Sunday's final against Roger Federer as he beat Andy Murray. "We had a lot of talks on if I still thought I could play and at least be towards the top of the game. I definitely openly questioned it at that point".
"I was probably leaning towards not really playing that well. She didn't really know much about tennis, so she thought I was playing real great - and she thought I looked cute in the shorts", joked the 2003 US open champion who has never duplicated that feat in three successive Grand Slam finals.
"This off-season, we said, 'If you're not gonna be up there, let's at least not wonder. Let's prepare yourself and give yourself every opportunity'".
Roddick called the wife he married in April "a very calming influence and someone that I can kind of confide in and not have to put up a super brave front in front of. So it's been real good. And certainly makes the (player) box better looking".

I thought Roddick really played well for most of the part. It really was a new and better Roddick.
