Berdych Suggests
On-Court Clocks To Speed Up Play
Tomas
Berdych was one of the harshest critics of the ATP World Tour’s new
umpiring directive to tighten up on time rules between serves at the
beginning of the year. “It's so simple,” said the world no.6.
“Let's put the clock there. Then everybody goes by the clock. Up to
now it's really inconsistent and the umpires should be more clear on
what is going on.
Fish To Play
Indian Wells
It's
finally looking like a comeback to the ATP for Mardy Fish, who has
played only occasionally - and not during the past six months - after
his heart-scare problems began a year ago. Now the former top 10 player
now ranked 32, has said he expects to return to the court at the Indian
Wells Masters, to be followed by his home event in Miami.

been involved in controversy that has moved from the sports pages of
newspapers to the front. Now Novak Djokovic believes it is time to
redress the balance.
Federer
Understands What Davydenko Is Going Through
Roger
Federer can relate to his longtime rival Nikolay Davydenko on many
levels, including the fact that both veterans are now fathers, traveling
the ATP with their young children. Federer, who posed his 19th win from
21 meetings with the quirky Russian who once stood inside the top 5,
understands his longtime opponent from all angles.
