His biggest win in singles came when he defeated the then World No. 1 Roger Federer at the Pacific Life Open in 2008. Thoughts on playing Djokovic, “I feel great. I mean, physically I'm 100 per cent. I feel literally no nicks at all, and that's pretty remarkable in the middle of a season. I've rectified my knee troubles with the tendinitis and my arm troubles with the serve a lot. Fish is 18-13 this year with one title and three career titles. His last tournament win was the 2009 Delray Beach International Tennis Championships against first-time finalist Evgeny Korolev. Novak Djokovic made quick work of S. Greul 7-5, 6-1, 6-4; he’s only dropped one set out of seven in his first two matches. Djokovic is 2-0 against Fish, he beat Fish at the 2008 ATP Masters Series Indian Wells in straight sets 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. Then at the 2006 US Open 7-6 (5), 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (3). Djokovic, a semi-finalist at The Championships two years ago, believes it will be a tough match. “He’s a big server, so any fast surface to play against him is a difficult match,” he said. “I can’t rate myself as a favourite in that match – a big favourite; because I think he’s been playing well. It’s going to be interesting. I think the key on my side is going to be return, if I’m going to be able to make him play more than he expects.” 2009 Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic vs Marty Fish When: Fri, June 26, 2009 7:00 AM ET Line: Bodog.com Pick: Djokovic -450 Point-Spreads.com 2009 Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic vs Marty Fish The Bottom Line: Djokovis might drop a set but he'll prevail.
