GAME, SET, MATCH: Tennis HOFer ANDY RODDICK and his wife BROOKLYN DECKER have "finally waved goodbye" to their North Carolina home after a year-and-a-half on the market. The couple accepted a $2.35M offer for their four-bedroom mountain retreat in Cashiers, about 165 miles from Charlotte, a "slight comedown" from the $3M they were originally seeking. The house, set on "close to three acres, was custom-built" for them in '13 and is "surrounded by rivers and waterfalls with views of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains" (WWD.com, 1/5).

The barbecue station is "equipped with two grills and bench seating" (LATIMES.com, 12/28)....NFL free agent G ORLANDO FRANKLIN has sold his home in the Poway area north of downtown San Diego for $1.5M.
