"It has always been nice to play here. This is the place where I won my the first and the last title. It`s great that I`ll have the opportunity to play with Mardy whose career is coming to it`s end. Fish will retire at the end of the summer at US Open. There was no denying that possibility, "said the former No1 in the world Andy Roddick.
