Get ready for access to professional tennis like you’ve never seen before! Thanks to the new Netflix documentary Series “Break Point” For the first time, fans will be able to share in a year in the life of some of the world’s best tennis players as they journey around the world, seeking to win on the sport’s biggest stages.
Netflix has teamed up with the ATP Tour, ATP Media, WTA Tour and four Grand Slam Tournaments beginning with the 2022 season at the Australian Open to bring this unique immersive documentary series to the screen.
The series will offer an unfiltered look at life inside the competitive sport of professional tennis through the perspective of the players and their teams, in the same spirit as “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” and the recently announced project featuring golf’s PGA Tour. Through a historic collaboration that will take cameras behind the scenes of the two tours, the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open, the series will also be the first sports programme of its kind to provide an equal platform to the men’s and women’s competitors of the sport, in keeping with the equal stage they share throughout the year.
“The launch of Break Point marks a major moment for tennis. Our sport is filled with passion, excitement and suspense, and Netflix and Box to Box are masters at bringing those stories to life. This series will shed a new light on our incredible athletes, their journeys, and the vibrancy of the game at spectacular tournaments across the globe. It’s a golden opportunity to bring in new audiences and let the next generation of fans fall in love with tennis.”
