"I'm
really excited to team up with Mardy full time. We've played together
at a couple events the past few seasons and found immediate success, so
there's definitely a lot to look forward to. The combination of his
powerful serve and ground-strokes with my hands at the net should prove
to be victorious,"
said Mark Knowles.
"His volleys have improved since the first time I've played
with him, so I believe we will be an imposing force at the net. We won
Memphis last year and he also made the semifinals of Wimbledon and won
the Indian Wells Masters Event, so he's established himself in doubles.
I'll be making my return from my injury in Memphis, which is a
great event for us to really kick off our 2010 season together - a
repeat performance from last year would be wonderful. I can't wait to
step back out on the court and it really helps to be playing with
someone I get along with so well."
Mark Knowles is a Bahamian sports superstar who gives back to his
country each year in December with the Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis
Invitational which raises money for charities and inspires young
Bahamian tennis players.
