The documentary aimmed at breaking tennis stereotypes

Fans are enthusiastic about this Netflix show as the Australian Open approaches in just a few weeks. The first five episodes of the show, which was developed by the team behind “Formula 1: Drive to Survive,” are centred on Melbourne Park, Indian Wells, Madrid, and Roland Garros. The remaining five episodes of the season, which will focus on Wimbledon, Eastbourne, Queens Club, the U.S. Open, WTA Finals, and ATP Finals, will air in June.

The absence of well-known tennis legends like Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and Novak Djokovic from the series is a subliminal statement about the influence that younger generations will have on the ATP and WTA circuits. Iga Swiatek, Sloane Stephens, Nick Kyrgios, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Matteo Berrettini, and Ons Jabeur are just a few of the Grand Slam champions and finalists that are among the featured athletes.

“The changing of the guard is happening, the timing was really good, too. Because I love tennis, but I’m like, ‘Who is Tsitsipas?…But actually, you realize, My God, he’s No. 5 in the world…and he’s a really interesting guy. I’d like to know more about him.”

The executive producer James Gay-Rees said in an exclusive interview

The motive of the show is thus clear- it is looking at bringing out some more players into the spotlight. Though tennis geeks and regular followers definitely keep a track of their favorites, outside the circle

“ the last 15-20 years is, ‘Roger, Roger, Roger. Serena, Serena, Serena.’ For a reason, right? Obviously, we’re not disputing that, because they’re legends and icons. But I think it was really exciting shining a light on a new generation“
