http://chadanielle.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/campbells-hall-of-fame-tennis-championships-071110-mardy-fish.jpgToday’s Morning Man is currently America’s best tennis player.

Mardy Fish is 29 and playing the best tennis of his career.

After spending years in the shadow of Andy Roddick, Fish is on a roll. He made it to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the first time this year and last week won the men’s tournament in Atlanta. He is the top seed at the tournament this week at UCLA and plays his plays his first match there today.

“Andy (Roddick) in my opinion is always going to be top dog of our generation,” Fish said in a recent interview. “It’s hard to think that just because of four or five or six months that I’m ahead of him (in the rankings) you can say that over a 10-year period I’ve had a better career. That’s not accurate. He’s gone through a lot more stress as far as (being asked) why American tennis isn’t better. He’s had the brunt of the questions for the most part so I’m happy to maybe take a little bit on my shoulders.”

Fish, currently ranked number 9 in the world, won the silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
