Cincinnati, USA – Mardy Fish’s incredible summer continues as he reaches the Cincinnati Masters semi-final on the back of an upset win over last week’s Rogers Cup champion, Andy Murray.
The victory marks the American’s third successive win this season over the Brit No.1; Fish now leads the series between the pair 4-3.
