There are many ways to motivate a tennis player, but there are just so many years that someone can handle the pressure. Many of tennis' great men have had some fantastic leading lady's to push and motivate them along the way. Below are three of tennis' leading lady's, keeping our favorite players, just that way...playing!

3) Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker - It is rumored that Decker was integral in keeping Roddick on the tour and encouraged to continue playing after they were married in April of this year. Roddick spent a large part of last year preparing for this year's season and lost a lot of weight preparing.

2) Pete Sampras and Bridgett Wilson - Wilson was a critical part of Sampras returning before his last season of travail and losses in 2002.

1) Roger Federer and Mirka - Mirka insists on her womanly independence during her current pregnancy, saying that she can fend for herself while Federer is out winning championchip matches and rising himself to the greatest player in tennis. ;)

Without these lovely leading ladies, would these fabulous men be as great? Everyone needs a good support system, just another reminder that we are all human.
