Brooklyn Decker’s US Open Hassles

As actress Brooklyn Decker stayed on hand to cheer on husband Andy Roddick as he played Rafael Nadal in a quarterfinal match at the US Open in Queens, the balmy pre-autumnal weather belied a more somber tone in the area.

Sunday marks the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, when more than 2,000 people were killed just miles away at the site of the World Trade Center. In advance of the anniversary, security has been stepped up visibly throughout New York’s five boroughs- especially at high profile events like the US Open.

In addition to the large event being held so close to the date, First Lady Michelle Obama was in attendance for some of the matches, undoubtedly increasing security concerns. Decker spoke about witnessing the enhanced security at the match, updating her Twitter feed from the event. She said:

“A bit of a shift in mood at the Open today… Officers in helmets carrying fully automatic weapons. Good to see they’re taking precaution.”

Prior to the match, Decker attended Fashion’s Night Out, a fundraiser for Justin Bieber’s pencils for promise. The previous night’s party also rated a mention on Decker’s Twitter account, and the actress commented:

Oh you know, just your typical Thursday night @DolceGabbana(via @BrooklynDOnline) #FNO http://pic.twitter.com/tfZFJao

Decker and Roddick got hitched back in April of 2009, and her husband has been tweeting about the US Open as well. Recently, he re-tweeted the comments of a fan that were not exactly favorable:

@misscanning: Urgh so @andyroddick needs to get a grip. Stop acting like such a tool”. :). Noted haha
