Good comeback for Mardy that won his first match since retiring from the US Open . It has been a long waiting for the American that he had to skip the Australian Open and the SAP Open in San Jose because of his problems related to an irregular heartbeat.
The match with Reynold was tricky from a mental point of view. First Mardy had to test his condition (not easy playing an important match when you need to “listen” if your heart is working propoerly), second the comeback was also with a friend and fellow American.
Finally Mardy won in 1 hour and 57 minutes.
From Mardy
“It’s been a tough few months, for sure. You sort of feel like it was a win just to get back out there,” said the American
“There are a lot of people that have sort of dealt with what I’ve dealt with and not come back. It’s nice to just play, first and foremost, and then you get out there and you want to win.”
Fish will play either Tsonga or his dear friend James Blake in the 3rd round.
Welcome back!
