Mardy Fish (born December 9, 1981, in Edina, Minnesota) is an American professional tennis player, and Olympic silver medalist. He is a hardcourt specialist. He is one of several American tennis players who rose to prominence at the beginning of the 21st century.

Fish has won five tournaments on the main ATP Tour, and has reached the final of three Masters Series events: Cincinnati in 2003 and 2010, and Indian Wells in 2008. His best result at a Grand Slam tournament has been reaching the quarter final stage at the 2007 Australian Open and the 2008 US Open.

In November 2007, Fish became engaged to Stacey Gardner, a California attorney and a "Briefcase Model" on NBC's Deal or No Deal. The two were married in a Jewish wedding ceremony on September 2008. Fish's friend and fellow tennis player James Blake served as groomsman. He is also good friends with Andy Roddick and Bob and Mike Bryan.

He has a group of fans called "The Fishheads" who travel with him and cheer him on during matches.
In April 2011, Fish overtook compatriot Andy Roddick to become the American No.1 in the ATP rankings. He is currently ranked World No. 9.

Fish is the son of a tennis teaching professional and a housewife, Tom and Sally Fish. He was born in Edina, Minnesota. In 1984, at the age of two, a Minneapolis TV station ran a profile of Fish hitting tennis balls from the baseline over the net. In 1986, Fish's family moved to Vero Beach, Florida.

He attended Saddlebrook Academy for tenth grade, then moved to Boca Prep in Boca Raton, Florida for his junior and senior years of high school. He, Andy Roddick, and Jesse Levine all attended Boca Prep International School. During 1999 he lived with Roddick's family, and the two played on the same tennis and basketball teams.

Fish turned professional in 2000 at the age of 18. He spent his first few years as a pro playing in the Challenger and Futures circuits, the minor leagues of tennis. He earned his first title on the ATP Tour, tennis' premier professional circuit, in 2002 playing doubles in the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, Texas, with Andy Roddick.

Fish's career improved significantly in 2003, when he won his first ATP singles title and reached the biggest final of his career, Cincinnati.

His singles victory came near the end of the season, when he defeated Swedish player Robin Söderling to win the Stockholm Open in Stockholm, Sweden.

Later that year, in August, Fish obtained a silver medal for the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, when he lost in five sets to Chilean Nicolás Massú. Fish defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero and Fernando González to reach the final.

Dinara Safina Russian professional tennis player Unseen Pictures & Biography

Dinara Mikhailovna Safina, born April 27, 1986 in Moscow, is a Russian professional tennis player of Tatar origin. Safina's career high ranking is World No. 1.
Safina was runner up in singles at the 2008 French Open, 2009 Australian Open, and the 2009 French Open, falling to Ana Ivanović, Serena Williams, and Svetlana Kuznetsova, respectively. She has had success at Grand Slam events in women's doubles by winning the 2007 US Open with Nathalie Dechy. She also won the Olympic silver medal in women's singles at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
She is the younger sister of former World No. 1 men's player Marat Safin. She and her brother are the first brother-sister tandem in tennis history to both achieve #1 rankings.

Safina's game is built on her powerful groundstrokes which are hit heavy and deep. Her forehand is the side where she hits more winners. Her backhand hits accurately and can open up the court. She also produces a high number of unforced errors. For her height, her serve has been considered lacking in power and precision. It is inconsistent, thus delivering a high number of double faults. This is often attributed to an unusually high, and therefore inconsistent ball toss. Safina's best surface is clay, while grass courts are her weakest surface. Through the years, she has struggled with the mental aspect of tennis. Her groundstrokes often turn erratic when she struggles with her mental game.

Safina was born in Moscow, Russia to ethnic Tatar parents. Her mother, Rauza Islanova, was her trainer when she was younger; while her father is director of the Spartak tennis club in Moscow. Her brother Marat is a former world No. 1 on the ATP Tour. Speaking of growing up in such a successful tennis family, Safina stated: "Being the little sister in such a big tennis family is not an easy situation. Maybe that's why it took me longer to develop. My father is very competitive, but my parents didn't put pressure on me. I wanted to find my identity. I wanted to be something by myself, like being a big player by myself. So at the beginning I was putting too much pressure on myself. But then gradually I found myself, and I learned how to do better with that situation." At age 8, Safina and her family moved to Valencia, Spain, and as a result Safina speaks fluent Spanish as well as Russian and English.

Previously, Safina was coached by Glen Schaap, former coach of Anna Chakvetadze and Nadia Petrova, and Željko Krajan, who worked with her during her rise to No. 1 in 2009. From May 2010, she begun working with Gastón Etlis. Their partnership ended after several months and since February 2011 she has been working with Davide Sanguinetti.

Safina's idols growing up were Steffi Graf, Martina Hingis and Lindsay Davenport. More recently, she has stated that she idolises Rafael Nadal. Safina states that she has few friends on the Tour, saying: "I'm not really looking for some friends because I have my team. I travel with my coach and my fitness coach. So, with both of them, I have enough. I don't need anyone else."

Unseeded at the 2011 ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand, Safina played well but was defeated in three sets 6–3, 6–7, 6–1 by in-form defending champion and No.2 seed Yanina Wickmayer in the first round. Wishing to bounce back from her loss in her first match of the year, Safina competed in the 2011 Moorilla Hobart International, facing Marion Bartoli in the first round. She lost again, managing to win only one game, 0–6, 1–6. Unseeded at the Australian Open, she was beaten by Kim Clijsters 0–6, 0–6 in the first round. She was the first former #1 player ever—man or woman—to receive a "double bagel" 6–0, 6–0 at a Grand Slam tournament since the start of the Open Era. As a result, her ranking dropped to number 117 in the world, the first time she was out of the top 100 since 2002.

At the 2011 Malaysian Open, Dinara was able to end her 6-match losing streak with her first win since September 2010, defeating Han Xinyun 6–2, 6–0 and taking the last 11 games of the match. Then she lost against Safarova in singles, but she won her ninth career title in doubles, paired with Galina Voskoboeva. Safina next competed at BNP Paribas Open, and her improved form continued with a run to the fourth round, including wins over 26th seed Daniela Hantuchova, 7–6(2), 6–4 and world No. 4 Samantha Stosur, 7–6(2), 6–4. Her run came to an end against Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, where she won only two games. Safina returned to the top 100 for her performance at the tournament.
