Break Point

I love tennis, so I feel like this definitely could've been done better. I'm not entirely sure I liked the player focused episodes-I enjoy seeing how they prepare and overcome/deal with criticism and frustration, but if it had just been tour focused the ground covered could have been better. I know Drive to Survive has specific talking points and is sometimes driver focused, but it really makes you feel like F1 is this big great thing you want to be a part of-this is lacking on the tennis side. It's sort of like "A week in the lives of" instead of the ATP and WTA tour. The best episode was the one where the new kids are trying to figure out how to beat Rafa-and it only kept my interest high because, well, Rafa. Also, why is Maria Sharapova in this? Roddick does commentary, so I see how his points of view would be insightful-he knows a bit more about this next-gen class. Anyway, I'm obviously going to keep watching, but as I said-I love tennis, and even I was bored during some points of the show.

I enjoyed this show so soo sooo much! I stopped playing professional tennis two years ago. It was awful, cuz i have loved it. This series made me want to play again. Its unbelievable! Fascinating! And super-duper exciting! Like "your heart starts beating faster"... tho its good if u know the rules of a tennis match, in my opinion someone who never played tennis before can also enjoy it.

Plus i am crazy excited about the next season. It's gonna be even better!!

One thing i'd critisize as a federer and berettini fan is: the most finals and matches they show are against Rafael Nadal, and sadly no one could beat him in this series, in the clips they showed. I felt like it's really about nadal and not about the young players... but yes whatever i understand , this is how it happened. This is life.

Tennis is life.

Similar to another review, for me it felt like season 2 seemed to have more coverage of the male players model girlfriends than coverage of the female tennis players.

I understand that we're seeing an insight into the players lives but the gratuitous coverage of the female partners, who didn't seem to bring much to the narrative and only seem to have been included if they fitted the correct Instagram profile, became quite tedious to me. So much so, that I was completely losing interest towards the end of the season.

I came here for the tennis, not the fame and celebrity status surrounding it.

If you're a tennis fan (or not) and looking for juiciness, this may just be the show for you.

A strong & personal look into the livelihoods of some of the best, male and female, tennis players in the world and the individual hardships & pressures they face.

Being a huge tennis fan, I was very hyped for this show, especially coming from the creator of Drive to Survive. Break Point certainly did not disappoint. It really depicts the underlying drama that players battle behind the scenes of every tournament and every match. The show is undoubtedly well edited and though slightly disappointed by certain stars like Carlos Alcaraz & Tsitsipas only in passing, I'm really looking forward to Part 2.

Disclaimer: 17 minutes into the first episode here.

As a huge tennis fan, I question the choice of player in the first episode: Kyrgios. At the moment he is the most controversial - you might say one you love to hate - and if, like in Formula 1, you want to attract new fans to the sport, you will turn them off instead. What's worse, viewers might think all tennis players are like Kyrgios. They are not. Most behave like human beings who are able to accept losing and are respectful of opponents, officials and the rules. They generally exhibit basic human decency. Kyrgios is the exception.

I may update this review after watching more episodes.
