Andy Roddick sits down with legend Fabio Fognini for a deep dive into life after the tour. They pull back the curtain on the "Fabio" persona—transitioning from on-court fiery meltdowns to an easygoing retirement filled with golf and a stint on Italy’s Dancing with the Stars. Roddick explores Fognini’s unique perspective on his legendary career, including the tactical secrets behind his three clay-court victories over Rafael Nadal and his reflection on the near-upset of Carlos Alcaraz during his last match. They also discuss the explosive growth of Italian tennis led by World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and why the current era has eclipsed soccer as the nation's sporting obsession.

Andy Roddick pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked parts of pro tennis—the brutal, nonstop travel that defines life on tour—breaking down the “gritty” logistics and why 95% of players aren’t flying private. He reflects on a 2004 season that saw him rack up over 100,000 miles—enough to circle the globe 4 times—while explaining how constant travel impacts performance and preparation. Roddick mixes insight with stories you won’t hear in a post-match interview, from nearly losing his passport in Russia to a $1,000 bet with Sam Querrey involving a “bull dance” after a match against Rafael Nadal. Fans also get a look at the details behind the scenes, including racket tension at altitude, gear routines, and the real meaning behind his infamous “FIGJAM” Reebok line.
