Fish flops in Miama

Mardy Fish’s recent run of form came to an abrupt halt as the unseeded American went out in the first round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami to Frenchman Arnaud Clement.

Fish beat three top-10 players, including world number one Roger Federer, on his way to the final at Indian Wells last week but Clement had few problems with the 26-year-old, whom he dispatched 6-3 6-3 in 69 minutes.
