More Proof That Model-Girlfriends Boost Athletic Performance

We made this observation way back in November, when Marko Jaric’s on-court numbers with the Minnesota Timberwolves spiked as things were heating up with his arm charm, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.

And Super Bowl aside, European jet-setter Tom Brady had a season for the QB record books. It also marks his first full NFL season with Gisele Bundchen at his side.

Now we can add Andy Roddick to the list of Athletes Who Improved After Getting a Little Something-Something From a Model. Just days after his engagement to swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, Roddick broke his 11-game losing streak to Roger Federer at the Sony Ericsson Open. (Thanks to The Bee for sharing this!)

By the way, we heart Federer and are bummed to see his 2008 tanking. You know why he’s on a downward slide? Because he’s had the same girlfriend for many years, and she isn’t a model–super, swimsuit, or otherwise.

Please, for the sake of tennis history, could somebody please set him up with Karolina Kurkova?
