Roddick tops Fish in exhibition match
Andy Roddick beat Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-3 in the Minnesota Tennis Challenge exhibition Wednesday night.
Roddick, playing for the first time since firing coach Brad Gilbert over the weekend, was fighting a cold but still managed to win. He said the match was more fun than it was work.
"You're playing for fun and making a bunch of people laugh," he said. "I feel guilty because I think I actually get more kicks out of it than (the fans) do."
Before the singles match, Fish, born in nearby Edina, paired with Roddick for a doubles match against twins Bob and Mike Bryan, who won 8-6 in a pro set.
Fish injured his left wrist in the first set of the singles match but played the second set.
"It hurts a little bit," he said. "It's a little early to tell how bad it is. We'll see how it feels tomorrow."
The foursome ¡ª on a four-day, three-city bus tour ¡ª have matches in Mobile, Ala., on Friday and Nashville, Tenn., on Saturday. Andre Agassi is scheduled to play with the group on Friday. |
