Mardy Fish and Grigor Dimitrov saved two match points in a 6-7(2), 7-6(5), 10-8 win over former Wimbledon winners Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil at the Citi Open on Monday. Fish, who is set to retire after the US Open, reached the quarter-finals of Atlanta with Andy Roddick last week.

 

“I felt like the old guy out there for sure. Basically I felt like the worst player most of the time,” said Fish. “But it was fun to be out there competing. Grigor was playing great today. We were looking for that break [in the second set] to get back in it. We stayed with it and got it.”

 

Fish and Dimitrov saved the only break point of the first set before seeing their opponents claim two mini-breaks en route to a 7-2 tie-break win. The American-Bulgarian tandem then dropped its first service game of the second set and faced two match points at 4-5 before storming back and winning the second set.

The two teams battled to an 8-8 stalemate in the Match Tie-break before Fish and Dimitrov won the next two points and the match. In the next round, they will face third seeds Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea, who beat Andy Murray and Daniel Nestor 2-6, 6-1, 10-3.
