The tennis Netflix docuseries ‘Break point’ is making headlines all over the world. This docuseries gives an inside look into the lives of tennis players. The first season covered several personalities such as Taylor Fritz, Maria Sakkari, Nick Kyrgios, Ons Jabeur, and more. The show was made by the same team that created the popular F1 series, Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Before season 1 ended, the series received a renewal for a second season which promises to bring even more top players. However, many thought the series was not as good as the F1 series. American player Reilly Opelka is one such individual.

Reilly Opelka did not enjoy Break Point

On the Craig Shapiro podcast, Reilly Opelka talked about several things related to tennis. Shapiro asked Opelka about his opinions of the Netflix series. Opelka’s opinion of the series was not friendly. Opelka felt that the series lacked the same level of transparency as its F1 and Golf counterparts. He added that the lack of specifics made the show boring.

“I think mainly transparency. I mean you look at a few sports that have done Netflix series now F1, Golf, Tennis. Tennis finished third by a mile. I don’t, I don’t get why the truth is such a controversial um, I know its an opinion, but I don’t think it’s a crazy radical thought that, that was a boring show. I thought that was, from the first episode I thought that was horrible,” opined the 25-year-old.

Opelka went on to add that the series felt basic and that they didn’t share the same level of details as the F1 series. He also said that being transparent was the key aspect and they need to do away with censorship.

“It was very basic and uh, they really, I felt they dumbed it down too much in the tennis aspect and they weren’t controversial. I’m kinda surprised to the extent that they shared F1 and you really get an inside look. It’s as transparent as can be, I think that’s key. It’s as censored as you can imagine in tennis.”
