In November 2007, Fish became engaged to Stacey Gardner, a California attorney and a "Briefcase Model" on NBC's Deal or No Deal. The two were married in a Jewish wedding ceremony on September 2008. Fish's friend and fellow tennis player James Blake served as groomsman. He is also good friends with Andy Roddick and Bob and Mike Bryan.

He has a group of fans called "The Fishheads" who travel with him and cheer him on during matches.
In April 2011, Fish overtook compatriot Andy Roddick to become the American No.1 in the ATP rankings. He is currently ranked World No. 9.
Fish is the son of a tennis teaching professional and a housewife, Tom and Sally Fish. He was born in Edina, Minnesota. In 1984, at the age of two, a Minneapolis TV station ran a profile of Fish hitting tennis balls from the baseline over the net. In 1986, Fish's family moved to Vero Beach, Florida.
He attended Saddlebrook Academy for tenth grade, then moved to Boca Prep in Boca Raton, Florida for his junior and senior years of high school.

Fish turned professional in 2000 at the age of 18. He spent his first few years as a pro playing in the Challenger and Futures circuits, the minor leagues of tennis. He earned his first title on the ATP Tour, tennis' premier professional circuit, in 2002 playing doubles in the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in Houston, Texas, with Andy Roddick.

Fish's career improved significantly in 2003, when he won his first ATP singles title and reached the biggest final of his career, Cincinnati.
His singles victory came near the end of the season, when he defeated Swedish player Robin Söderling to win the Stockholm Open in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, he defeated 5th-seeded and former World No. 1 Carlos Moyà at the 2003 Australian Open in the second round, 3–6, 7–6 (8), 6–4, 4–6, 6–2. He finished the year ranked No. 20 in the world.
Fish played well in 2004, reaching the finals at the SAP Open in San Jose, California and in the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany. Later that year, in August, Fish obtained a silver medal for the United States at the 2004 Summer Olympics, when he lost in five sets to Chilean Nicolás Massú. Fish defeated Juan Carlos Ferrero and Fernando González to reach the final.
In 2005, Fish injured his left wrist. It eventually required two surgeries, and as a result he only played 17 matches in the year.
