Hot Fish pulls out of LA event

Tennis Betting Lines

07/27/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Red-hot American Mardy Fish pulled out of the $700,000 Farmers Classic tennis event on Tuesday, citing fatigue and an ankle injury.

An eighth-seeded Fish was scheduled to meet German Benjamin Becker in an opening-round match here on Tuesday night, but he'll be replaced in the draw by a lucky-loser on the hardcourts at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.

"Due to fatigue and a sprained ankle in Atlanta, I am not in good shape to play," Fish said. "I need to rest in order to compete at a high level."

Fish has won his last 10 matches, including two titles in his last two events. He titled on grass in Newport two weeks ago and was last week's big winner on the hardcourts in Atlanta, where he overtook 6-foot-9 fellow American John Isner in the final amid some oppressive heat.

The 28-year-old Fish suffered the ankle injury during his second-round match against fellow American Robby Ginepri last week.

This week's top seeds in Los Angeles are Australian Open runner-up Andy Murray and reigning champion Sam Querrey, who bested Aussie Carsten Ball in last year's finale here.
