Result: Mardy Fish advances in New York

Mardy Fish continued his recent good run of form by making it into the third round of the US Open in New York.

The American defeated Malik Jaziri of Tunisia 6-2 6-2 6-4 to set up a match against South Africa's Kevin Anderson.

Jaziri was well-beaten in the first two sets, but made Fish work hard to close out the win.

The world number eight's previous best in the tournament was a quarter-final appearance in 2008.
