Andy Roddick and his wife, Brooklyn Decker continued their playful banter regarding the upcoming Parents vs Kids wiffle ball tournament. The tournament will likely take place at their son, Hank's practice field.

Roddick and Decker began dating in 2007 and got engaged just a year later, in 2008. They tied the knot in April 2009 in Texas and have two children together - a son, whom they named Hank and a daughter named Stevie.

Brooklyn Decker recently took to social media to share a video in which she revealed that she is getting ready for the Parents vs Kids wiffle ball game. In the video, the actress said that Andy Roddick has doubts regarding her ability to play wiffle ball, as she has never played the sport before.

“Our kid has a parents versus kids Wiffle ball game and Hank, our son was like, ‘I’m making mom play. She can’t get out of this.’ I said, ‘No problem. No problem, I will slide head first into the base.’ And Andy doesn't think I can do it, he doesn’t think I can play wiffle ball with the kids,” Decker said.

Roddick jokingly expressed skepticism about Decker's capability to slide and dive headfirst into the base.

“Well no, I think you can, but you also said things like athletically and this isn’t me exaggerating ‘cause I know I can tell a story. Tell me which part isn’t true. ‘Athletically, I can do anything I set my mind to, like no problem. So you can sprint on base path, never having done it before and slide headfirst into second base?’” Roddick said.

Brooklyn Decker replid by saying:

“Not pro level obviously. I think I can throw. It just requires floppiness, flexibility and a little bit of determination, all of which I have.”
“I need to get a video of you sliding head first for the very first time in your life,” Roddick said in response.

Following their playful banter, Decker seemed to question the difficulty level of the sport. Roddick responded by acknowledging that while wiffle ball might not be as demanding as a triathlon, it still requires skill and technique.

“Is it hard to slide like our kids? Is it a hard thing to do? Is it known as being difficult?” Brooklyn Decker inquired.
“I don’t know. It’s not like a triathlon but also I don’t think you’re giving it enough credit," Roddick said.

Decker later shared a video of herself sliding headfirst into a base, with Roddick filming the action.

The former World No.1 then asked Decker if playing wiffle ball was as easy as she had initially thought, to which she replied in the affirmative.

“So you finished. What is as easy as you thought it was?” Roddick asked.
“Oh yeah!” Decker replied.
“Was it? Roddick said.
“Yeah!” Decker answered.
“Really? Okay,” Roddick replied.

Recently, while speaking to PEOPLE magazine, Andy Roddick talked about his marriage to Brooklyn Decker. He described it as the "joy of a lifetime." He also humorously admitted that he still can't believe how he managed to convince Decker to marry him

“The joy of a lifetime. I’m thankful that I somehow, in a moment of weakness, convinced her to choose me on a day, and we’ve certainly committed to it ever since,” Roddick said.

Roddick finished his career with one Grand Slam to his name - he won the 2003 US Open title by defeating Juan Carlos Ferrero in the final. He finished as the runner-up at Grand Slams on four occasions and was also ranked World No.1 for a while.

Roddick retired from the sport in 2012 after he competed at the New York Major where he reached the fourth round before being defeated by Juan Martin del Potro.
