Good sports doc.

I'm not a big tennis fan but this was still very enjoyable as someone who knows next to nothing about the sport and its players. Netflix's Untold series is really filling the 30 for 30 void for me since I have no way to watch it anymore. I just wish these episodes were grouped together for easier access -- I really don't understand the decision to split them up. What is this, a scavenger hunt?

Lots of respect and love for Mardy.

Did anyone talk about mental health issues in the 90's be honest no, especially when the subject was a six foot plus bloke.

This series focuses on the mental health issues of Mardy Fish, fascinating to learn so much about him, his struggles, and this fascinating relationship with Andy Roddick. So much expectation on those shoulders, a world class player, sadly greatness is reserved for only a handful of players.

I do follow the ATP and WTA, and have since the early 90's, so much focus on mental health now, with what's happening to Naomi Osaka, and to some degree Emma Raducanu.

It was awesome to see so many faces from the past, amazing also to see that Roddick's serve didn't change all that much over the years.

Such an interesting watch, I will never forget that final against Federer.

Insightful, 9/10.

Very well put-together entry in the Untold series! [+70%]

A worthwhile companion piece to the other episodes in Netflix's sports documentary series Untold, Breaking Point is a story that needed to be told (all puns intended!). Right from the childhood camaraderie between Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick, there's so much to this episode that makes it simultaneously relatable and enjoyable. Playing in the big leagues comes with stress, pressure, criticism, and opinions from all directions - be it any sport - not to mention, for a sport that thrives on individual capacity like tennis.

I cannot even imagine the levels of anxiety that Mardy must have gone through on several critical occasions in his career. That being said, it was wonderful to see him surrounded by such a caring, supportive family and an excellent buddy in Christian. I suppose that makes all the differences sometimes. To be able to tell your story (a huge component of which comprises breakdowns and panic attacks) without compromises takes a lot of guts. I'm glad a top-tier player like Mardy did it - not just for sporting talents like himself - but for everyone who's forced to conceal their sorrows and pressures deep down.

I really enjoyed the way the makers meshed the interviews with actual match footage to give it that moment-by-moment feel. The story moves forward objectively and remains that way all through. The life of Mardy Fish will forever inspire the lives of millions out there battling mental health issues; that an entertainment conglomerate like Netflix decided to showcase it to the whole world is truly admirable.
