Top-ranked American Mardy Fish has fallen at the hands of Alejandro Falla from Colombia in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3, 7-6 in second round action at the 2012 Australian Open. Fish did not seem himself and had built up frustration which shown through his play. He made a comment to a ball boy and also made numerous complaints to the chair after Falla took numerous breaks to see a trainer. 

Falla had doubled on his first match point in the third set, but came right back to defeat Fish with a missed backhand volley. This is a rough start for Fish who is coming off his best season where he cracked the top 10 for the first time.
