Mardy's Kids
on Courts
The Mardy Fish
Foundation has
created Kids on
Courts, a "learn by
immersion", age and
skill-based tennis
development program
especially designed
for junior tennis
players. The program
teaches juniors
(ages 7-12) of all
abilities the skills
for playing
competitive tennis
matches. The Mardy
Fish Foundation is
excited to have Mike
Rahaley head Kids on
Courts as program
director.
Each junior will
play tennis matches
immediately on the
first day against
players of similar
skill levels. The
match results will
be recorded and will
determine the
schedule of matches
for the following
week. Every level of
player will be
challenged. As the
program develops,
players will be
placed on teams
which give juniors
the concept of team
participation along
with individual
rankings. What's
great about this is
that there is no
bench time! There
are only a few
sports that are life
long that can offer
these benefits.
The benefits for
junior players are
many. According to
Mike Rahaley, the
program "Teaches
kids to thrive
individually in a
match situation and
helps them build
confidence and a
positive
self-image."
Mardy Fish
Foundation Kids on
Courts gives juniors
a sport they can
play their whole
lives. They will
learn how to be
gracious when
learning (i.e.
losing) and when
they win. They will
develop skills to
compete and think on
the court. They will
forge new
friendships. Playing
tennis is great for
your health, too.
Most importantly,
they will have fun!

(Sept 19 2010)
Mardy Fish gives USA its
third point to keep USA in the World Group.
Fish
victory keeps US in World Group
Mardy Fish
defeated Santiago Giraldo 3-6, 6-3, 7-5, 4-6, 8-6 on
Sunday to give the United States an insurmountable 3-1
lead over Colombia in the Davis Cup.
Winning the playoff match on outdoor red clay means the
U.S. will remain in the World Group, the top tier of the
Davis Cup. Colombia was trying to qualify for the first
time.
"A lot of work and a lot of sacrifice went into this,"
Fish said. "A year ago today I wouldn't have been able
to do this. I fought as hard as I could."
Fish also became the first American to win three times
in a single Davis Cup match since Pete Sampras in the
1995 final in Moscow. Fish won in Friday's opening
singles and teamed up with John Isner to win the doubles
on Saturday.

Colombia's Alejandro Falla on red clay during
the opening singles Davis Cup match.
The key was staying
ahead in the fifth set," Fish said. "I had some
tough games to hold but was always able to stay
ahead. When he had to serve to stay into it at
5-4, that's when all the pressure kicked in."
"It was a gutsy
mental effort by Mardy today," said U.S. coach
Patrick McEnroe who retires after this weekend.
"It goes to show what being fit means."
