(December 27,2010) As a very common way to start off the New Year, many people take it upon themselves to make a resolution to get fit. Mardy Fish transformed his body and game last year for a successful season. It seems that Marcos Baghdatis and Andy Roddick, in a similar fashion, are resolved to start off 2011 right.
