How does tennis really support its athletes off the court? This week on Served with Andy Roddick, we dive deep into the emotional and psychological challenges faced by pros—starting with Sara Sorribes Tormo’s bold decision to step away from tennis for her mental well-being. Andy Roddick is joined by longtime friend and former top-10 player Mardy Fish, who opens up about his struggles with anxiety—powerfully chronicled in Netflix’s Untold: Breaking Point. Their honest conversation sheds light on the culture of silence around mental health in sports and how things need to change. Can tennis do more to protect its stars from burnout and pressure? What can fans, coaches, and institutions learn from Mardy Fish’s journey? Are we doing enough to break the stigma around mental health in tennis?
