　　Talking with media on-hand at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Roddick said, “I have decided that this is going to be my last tournament. I wanted an opportunity to say good-bye. I hope I’m sticking around.”

　　And while he'll certainly be missed, there's no need to feel sorry for Andy - who turned 30-years-old today - as he gets to look forward to open days with his stunning Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue wife, Brooklyn Decker.
