Andy Roddick will miss the Rome Masters for his second year running as the No. 7 celebrates a second honeymoon with bikini-model-turned actress wife Brooklyn Decker.
While Decker takes a break in shooting in Hawaii of a romantic comedy with Jennifer Aniston, Roddick has been along for the ride, with gossip media showing him in a shirtless run on a beach.
Roddick last played in Rome in 2008, reaching the semi-finals where he lost to Swiss Stan Wawrinka. He skipped the Italian clay trip a year ago to get married.
Starting his clay season at the Foro Italico will be Roger Federer, while Rafael Nadal is due to play after winning Monte Carlo a week ago for a sixth consecutive time but withdrawing from his home Barcelona Open this week to rest.
Roddick's last outing was a title in Miami last month on hardcourt. Federer owns two Rome finals but no title and Nadal has won four of the last five editions.
Beside Roddick, the clay field will be missing US Open winner Juan Martin Del Potro, out since the Australian Open with a wrist injury, Russian number six Nikolay Davydenko (broken wrist) and Argentine David Nalbandian.
Roddick will not be penalised in the rankings or fined for missing the Italian stop as he will be using his "get out of jail card" with the ATP which allows veterans with over 600 matches played to receive one tournament exemption per season.
