AEGON Championships Performance of the Day
Mardy Fish. Bearing the brunt of a lot of puns in
yesterday's papers, American Fish finished off Andy
Murray in a third set tie-break, 7-2, in the resumption
of their third round match. Dusting off his shoes and
changing his top, the American returned an hour and a
bit later to face Michael Llodra for a place in the last
four. Pulverising the Frenchman with his big serve, Fish
won his second match of the day 6-4, 6-4, and blasted
his way into the semi-finals. He then went back on court
for doubles.

Fish
Defeats Murray at Sony Ericsson Open
Mardy
Fish earned one of the biggest victories in his 10-year
career with a 6-4, 6-4 upset win over 2009 champion Andy
Murray in front of a packed crowd in the Sony Ericsson
Open. Murray, the Australian Open runner-up in January,
was seeded No. 3 at Key Biscayne but failed to survive
his opening match. Mardy Fish dethroned defending
champion Andy Murray in straight sets in the second
round.
Florida resident Fish took control by seizing the
opening set against the Briton and the writing was on
the wall for Murray when he surrendered his serve in the
first game of the second.
Fish sported a wide grin as he celebrated his victory by
pumping both fists close to his chest. He then signed
the courtside television camera 'Hi "My dad wasn't able
to be there today but my mum was," said the American.
"It's really nice to have them come down. "They don't
get to watch much," said Fish, who last beat a top-five
opponent when he knocked out Federer at Indian Wells in
2008.
Fish lost just six points on his first serve. He hit 28
winners to Murray's nine and frequently charged the net
behind returns. Fish's ranking will rise thanks to his
second career win over a player ranked in the top three.
He beat Federer at Indian Wells two years ago.

Bruce Jenkins INSIDE TENNIS:
Fish may have surpassed Roddick as America's best tennis player.
With the U.S. Open only a few weeks away, Mardy Fish might be
the best tennis player in America -- a pretty sweet notion if
you've been among his loyal fans all these years.

Mardy's
Tennis & Jake's Music Fest to Benefit the Mardy Fish
Foundation is a weekend event that features a Barbeque
Luncheon with silent and live auction, Concert with country
music star Jake Owen, Kids' Tennis Clinic and Tennis
Exhibition with Mardy Fish vs. James Blake followed by a
doubles match with current and/or former touring tennis
professionals.
The Mardy Fish
Foundation has
created Kids on
Courts, a "learn by
immersion", age and
skill-based tennis
development program
especially designed
for junior tennis
players. The program
teaches juniors
(ages 7-12) of all
abilities the skills
for playing
competitive tennis
matches. The Mardy
Fish Foundation is
excited to have Mike
Rahaley head Kids on
Courts as program
director.
Each junior will
play tennis matches
immediately on the
first day against
players of similar
skill levels. The
match results will
be recorded and will
determine the
schedule of matches
for the following
week. Every level of
player will be
challenged. As the
program develops,
players will be
placed on teams
which give juniors
the concept of team
participation along
with individual
rankings. What's
great about this is
that there is no
bench time! There
are only a few
sports that are life
long that can offer
these benefits.
The benefits for
junior players are
many. According to
Mike Rahaley, the
program "Teaches
kids to thrive
individually in a
match situation and
helps them build
confidence and a
positive
self-image."
Mardy Fish
Foundation Kids on
Courts gives juniors
a sport they can
play their whole
lives. They will
learn how to be
gracious when
learning (i.e.
losing) and when
they win. They will
develop skills to
compete and think on
the court. They will
forge new
friendships. Playing
tennis is great for
your health, too.
Most importantly,
they will have fun!
Kids on Courts
matches will played
on Sundays. Players
will have three
separate starting
times (2pm, 3pm, or
4pm) based on their
skill level. Kids on
Courts matches will
be held for five
weeks on the
following dates:
November 22, 29,
2009 and December 6,
13 and 20, 2009. The
initial five- week
session will cost
$50. Financial
scholarships are
available.
In addition, Kids on
Courts is looking
for parents who
would like to
volunteer to help
organize the weekly
matches. For more
