Former world number one tennis player Andy Roddick has opened up about his skin cancer.

"I've had to deal with different types of skin cancer since I stopped playing," said the 41-year-old American in a podcast. A tumor was removed from his lip five or six years ago. The problems would probably accompany him for the rest of his life, said the 2003 US Open winner, who ended his career in 2012.

He linked the problems to the many hours he was exposed to the sun while playing tennis. Roddick urged parents to apply sunscreen to their children, especially when they play tennis. The problems would not show up at the age of eight, but perhaps at the age of 38, emphasized the father of two. He did not want to moan: "Nothing is wrong, everything is fine - but use sun cream."
