U.S. Open Match to Watch: Day 8

The day session on Ashe for Labor Day will feature quite a match between the #1 American, Mardy Fish and a guy who loves this kind of big match in Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.

This match should be very even.

Believe it or not, these two have never played before.  Both are trying to get through the draw since it has opened up a bit.

Fish has been very consistent this summer and Tsonga has had some big wins in 2011.  It should be entertaining, heart-wrenching and the crowd will be into it.

Look for Fish to take advantage of his supurb conditioning and win in 5.

Mardy Fish Withdraws from Winston-Salem Open

It's a minor blow for the first year ATP 250 event in Winston-Salem.

Mardy Fish has withdrawn from competition in the Winston-Salem Open.

"It’s really unfortunate that I won’t be playing Winston-Salem next week. Winston-Salem is one of my favorite cities, and I was truly excited to be part of the tournament’s first year,” Mardy Fish said.  “However, given the amount of matches I already have played this summer, I feel it is in my best interest physically to take the week off in preparation for the US Open.”

“I would like to wish the staff, volunteers and sponsors the best of luck with the event, and I sincerely plan to be in Winston-Salem in 2012,” Fish added.
