Mardy Fish advances to semifinals
MONTREAL — Mardy Fish defeated Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3, 6-7 (8), 6-0 on Friday to advance to the semifinals of the Rogers Cup.
The sixth-seeded Fish dropped an error-filled second set to the 14th-seeded Wawrinka. It went to a tiebreak after neither player was able to hold service over the final four games.
Fish cruised through the final set to reach his fifth tournament semifinal of the year. It’s a big improvement for Fish at the Rogers Cup, where he didn’t win a match in previous visits in 2003 and 2008.
He will face the winner of the match between Tomas Berdych and Janko Tipsarevic.
Later Friday, top-ranked Novak Djokovic will face Gael Monfils and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will play Nicolas Almagro.
