Mardy Fish Feels Better: Ready To Resume Tour Play |

Mardy Fish has suggested that it’s been all in his head as tries to set up a more permanent comeback to the ATP. The American who underwent treatment for an accelerated heartbeat 14 months ago, has never actually returned to the sport and has hinted that most of his reticence is mental.

The No. 61 who has played only a pair of matches at Indian Wells since quitting prior to a US Open match 10 months ago against Roger Federer, is now declaring that he will play again at the Washington outdoor ATP stop from July 29.

Fish, 31, has said that he is battling “some demons” as he tries to recover the courage to resume a fulltime tennis career. “I’m trying to make sure mentally I’m where I want to be,” he told local media in Washington. “Some days are better than others, Some weeks are better than others.”

Fish said that since the US Open he has wrestled with his life. “For the first three months after the U.S. Open, I had retired and non-retired in my head almost every week, And there was awhile where I was done.”

Since winning a round at Indian Wells and then losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Fish has managed only one loss at a Challenger event. But now, with entries next week in Atlanta as well as his Washington commitment, Fish hopes he can get back on track. “I’ve turned the corner and been able to train as hard as I possibly can the last three months.”
