===2008=== Fish started off 2008 quite well at the [[Hopman Cup]], an exhibition event in Perth, Western Australia. Partnering with [[Serena Williams]], he won the title. Williams was ill and arrived after the start of the event, but [[Meghann Shaughnessy]] filled in for the first match. Fish won against Indian [[Rohan Bopanna]] and Australian [[Peter Luczak]], and received a walkover from Czech [[Tomáš Berdych]]. Although Fish lost the first doubles match, he and Williams were undefeated in two mixed doubles matches. They qualified as undefeated for the final, where they faced top-seeded Serbians [[Novak Djokovic]] and [[Jelena Janković]]. Although Fish lost in singles against Djokovic, the Americans again won the mixed doubles match to win the title. Fish fell to [[Jarkko Nieminen]] in the third round of the Australian Open after a code violation caused him to lose his composure. Fish then went on to make a quarterfinal showing at the [[2008 Delray Beach International Tennis Championships]], before losing to long-time friend and wild-card entry [[Robby Ginepri]]. At the [[2008 Pacific Life Open|Pacific Life Open]] in [[Indian Wells, California]], Fish defeated world no. 1 [[Roger Federer]] in the semifinals in what Fish described as "a great win,"<ref>[http://www.asapsports.com/show_interview.php?id=48451 Pacific Life Open – March 22 – Mardy Fish] (interview transcript)</ref> after failing to beat the Swiss player in five previous matches.
