Mardy Fish has spent countless practice hours trying to improve his serve. Seems his hard work is starting to pay off "It's important to get free points on hardcourts," Fish said. "I feel like I'm an aggressive style player and for me to play my best tennis, I need free points on my serve." Fish, the No. 6 seed, beat James Ward of Great Britain 6-1, 6-2 Monday night in the first round of the Atlanta Tennis Championships. He won 21 of his 25 potential points on first serve and broke even on 28 second-serve points. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=5393691
