Bahamian tennis pro Mark Knowles started the season with his new doubles partner
Mardy Fish and the duo got off to bit of a shaky start and managed to play in four tournaments together. Knowles had a couple injuries he was dealing with and then Fish injured his hip
at the U.S.
Men's Clay Court Championships in Texas and now will sit out the
remainder of the clay court season.
Mark Knowles sent The Bahamas Weekly the following comments after Mardy's injury, "
"This season
has been full of misfortunes. My injury caused us to miss the
Australian hard-court season, one of my favorite times of the year, and
then my calf acted up in my first match back in Memphis. Now, in our
first tournament of the clay court season, Mardy incurs an injury that
will keep him out until the French Open. It's like someone has placed a
hex on us, so it's definitely been frustrating."
Knowles has since returned to the circuit and is currently playing in the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters in Monaco with Brazilian, Bruno Soares
They are seeded 8th and will play the number one seeds
Nestor/Zimonjic on Friday, April 16th. See more info HERE.
