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.
