Nearly a year after his last official tennis match, Mardy Fish has discovered his happy formula of the post-professional athlete retired lifestyle: odd jobs and family time, mixed with golf and a little bit of tennis.
“Life today is a lot less stressful, that’s for sure,” Fish says. “It’s a lot easier. I love it. It’s great to be home. It’s great to be with family all the time. There are a lot of things I certainly don’t miss. I do miss the competition and some of that related stuff.”
His preferred version of the retired life might not sound exceptional to some, but for Fish, it’s a momentous step in the best of directions.
