Mario Ancic, whose 2007 season was derailed by a bout of mononucleosis, has announced his withdrawal from the US Open with a recurrence of the energy-sapping illness. The Croat withdrew from last year's tourney with a shoulder injury.
Super Mario's Wimbledon performances, particularly his after-dark win against David Ferrer in the third round and his comeback from 2 sets to love down against Fernando Verdasco in the round of 16, were some of the best stories to come out of the fortnight.
Tough luck Mario - get well.

ReplyDeleteGet better soon Mario!
This is so unfortunate to hear. Just when things were getting good again for him. I hope he gets over this bout of it for good and comes back with a great 2009!
ReplyDeletei know he has a great attitude and seems pretty grounded off court - it's kinda worrisome that it came back, huh?
