Maria has teased her fans enough with the caption to the post. She says, “Coming soon to a subscription near you with John McEnroe 📽️💥😂🙉”. This indicates that what they’re collaborating on is not a movie but something like a web-series. With Netflix’s much-awaited tennis documentary “Break Even” releasing on the 6th, tennis enthusiasts might need to clear their schedules for another binge-watch soon.
