Mardy Fish says that while he’s happy to give advice to younger players, occasionally there is a conflict of personal interest.

"Someone like Ryan Harrison jumps out at you," Fish told reporters. "He's sort of a sponge when it comes to information from all the guys that have played or have played for a while or have just retired. The only problem with taking someone under your wing is that you're trying to compete with them, as well, and it's an individual sport, so it's not a team sport. I'm certainly open to discussing anyone's game at any time. If a young player would approach me, I would give him my full attention. But they're still trying to take your lunch away."
