Andy Roddick to marry swimsuit model

Miami: American tennis star, Andy Roddick on Monday announced his engagement to 20-year-old swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker.

A post on the world number six's official website said: “We are thrilled to announce that Andy and Brooklyn Decker are engaged to be married. Andy proposed in early March. The couple wanted to tell their family and close friends first but good news travels fast.''

The happy couple has not yet set a date for their impending nuptials.

In February, Roddick became the first American to win the singles title at the men's tournament of the Dubai Tennis Championships, beating Spaniard Feliciano Lopez.
