Fifth seed Mardy Fish captured his fourth career ATP World Tour title Sunday afternoon, as he rallied past 4th-seeded opponent Olivier Rochus in three sets, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4.
Mardy Fish took home top honors at the Campbell’s Hall of Fame Championships on Sunday following his three-set victory over Olivier Rochus. The 28-year-old American, making his second appearance in a grass court final this season, rifled 24 aces en route to a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 success in two hours and four minutes. Fish, who won his 23rd match of the year, improved his record in finals to 4-11. With the championship victory, the Tampa resident will move to world No. 59 on Monday.
After splitting the first two sets, both players held serve until the ninth game of the decider. Fish missed three opportunities to break, but converted the fourth to lead 5-4. The American faltered serving for the title, forced to save two break points. Fish regrouped to close the match on his second championship point of the match.
"It means a lot to win now on every surface in my career – indoor, outdoor, hard, clay and grass," said Fish. "I’ve certainly lost a lot of heartbreak finals, and it feels good to win one. I served great, and I needed to for sure. I served great when I needed to in that last game. If I didn’t come up with those [aces] he probably was going to break me eventually."
Fish ended the day with 15 of 16 service games held and 89% of his first-serve points won.
