Bonne Chance Mardy!
Once a top-10 player and the highest-ranked American man, Fish had his late-career resurgence derailed three years ago because of a heart problem that morphed into a more insidious psychological impediment. At his worst, Fish had hourly panic attacks and was unable to leave his house for months.
He left the ATP Tour 18 months ago, seemingly for good, dabbled in lower-tier professional golf and became a father.
Now he is back for a last go — if for nothing else than to “reaffirm that I can still play the game,” Fish, 33, said.
He announced on Twitter in January that he would return to singles competition at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., which begins this week.
