Trials, Tribulations, and Tennis

Eric Bell with Marcus Willis

SEASON 2 | EPISODE 7

---

During one of the biggest moments of his career, British professional tennis player Marcus Willis wanted to disappear.

Marcus gained worldwide recognition after playing against Roger Federer in the second round in the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. He found that the newfound fame came with a price - and a comedown.

Beyond the glory on the court, Marcus reveals the mental health struggles that plagued his career journey in a candid conversation with host Eric Bell on Turning on the Light. He started changing his mindset by accepting and sitting with his feelings, and being open to receiving help.

Marcus takes us into the daily grind of professional tennis, the isolation of training, and the courage it takes to pursue dreams when things feel helpless.
