===2010=== Fish began 2010 by winning the SAP Open in San Jose with doubles partner [[Sam Querrey]]. The pair defeated [[Benjamin Becker]] and [[Leonardo Mayer]], 7β6, 7β5, in the final. With this win, Fish improves to 7β1 lifetime in ATP World Tour doubles finals.[http://mardytennis.com/] On March 27, Fish knocked his second round opponent [[Andy Murray]] out of the [[Sony Ericsson Open]] in Miami, Florida, in straight sets<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8588909.stm|title=Tennis β Mardy Fish punishes out-of-sorts Andy Murray in Florida | publisher=BBC Sport|date=March 27, 2010|access-date=August 8, 2011}}</ref> On June 10, Fish played [[Andy Murray]] again in the third round of the [[2010 Aegon Championships|Queen's]] tournament in London. Fish won the first set 6β4, but lost the second 6β1. However, during the third set, Fish was leading 3β0, Murray then brought it back to 3β3. Fish then complained to the umpire that it was too dark, and he then walked off the court without talking to Murray. Murray stayed on the court for a few minutes after the incident and said, "He only complained because I was gaining momentum", and "He wouldn't have complained when he was 3β0 up." The following day, Fish went on to win the third and final set in a 6β4, 1β6, 7β6 victory. He faced [[MichaΓ«l Llodra]] in the quarterfinals and [[Feliciano LΓ³pez]] in the semifinals to reach the final. He lost to compatriot [[Sam Querrey]] to finish as runner-up.
