One of the best American tennis players of the last 20 years joins Ariel for a candid conversation about the Netflix documentary, "Untold: Breaking Point," which chronicles Fish's battles with mental health, which unexpectedly led Fish to pull out of an important 2012 U.S. Open match against Roger Federer. 

Fish tells Ariel about his toughest days, how he pulled himself out of the darkness, the importance of family and friends during tough times, why he doesn't judge anybody anymore, why more male athletes need to speak out on mental health issues, and so much more.

Once ranking in the top 10 worldwide, Fish's career highlights include quarter finals appearances in the 2007 Australian Open, 2008 U.S. Open, and 2011 Wimbledon Championships, as well as a silver medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Fish now serves as the captain of America's Davis Cup team, appears in celebrity golf tournaments and even practices mixed martial arts.
