Fish then complained to the umpire that it was too dark, and he then walked off the court without talking to Murray.

His biggest weapons were his strong serve and reliable backhand, and he often won points at net with adept volleying. His most reliable shot was his two-handed backhand, which he could flatten out effectively to end points. His forehand was more inconsistent, though it improved toward the end of his career. In 2010, he dropped over 30 pounds, from 203 to 170. This enabled Fish to become much fitter, faster and maintain longer rallies.

Fish is a fan of theMinnesota Twins andMinnesota Vikings.[33]
Fish had a group of fans called "The Fishheads" who traveled with him and cheered him on during matches:[34]
The setting was center court at Arthur Ashe Stadium yesterday, and the crowd filled only half the seats as Mardy Fish took the court for the second match of the day. But as Fish methodically made his way through a straight-set victory, an odd, and somewhat comical, sight emerged in the otherwise sedate setting.
Perched high in the cheap seats, relatively speaking, were a raucous band of shirtless fans, each one with a letter that collectively spelled out,Go Fish. Their heads were adorned with rubber fish heads and there were fins attached to their hands that they slapped together enthusiastically for each point scored by Fish.
Fish is regarded as one of the best celebrity golfers. He is annually among the favorites at theAmerican Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, winning the tournament in 2020 and 2024.[35] He won the Diamond Resorts Invitational in Orlando in both 2016 and 2018. In 2022, Fish received a sponsor exemption to play in the3M Open, aPGA Tour event in his home state of Minnesota.[36] In 2023 at the American Century Championship, Fish finished second to star basketball playerStephen Curry.
