'Break Point,' Netflix's tennis documentary series that takes fans behind the scenes of the professional tennis tour, will return for a second season.
Netflix announced the show's renewal, and that of 'Full Swing,' the golf docu-series that follows the PGA Tour, on Tuesday. Both shows are produced by Box-to-Box Films, the acclaimed team behind 'Drive to Survive,' which chronicles Formula One racing.
“These shows quickly appealed to core fans of golf and tennis, and also recruited brand new fans from all around the world,” Brandon Riegg, Vice President, Unscripted and Documentary Series, Netflix, said in a press release. “Like so much of our growing sports slate, the compelling characters, competitive stakes, and vibrant storytelling reveal sides of the game you've never seen before, and we're excited to follow the unpredictable turns of the year ahead.”
'Break Point' follows a select group of tennis players as they compete in the biggest and most grueling events in tennis, with hopes of emerging as champion and even bigger dreams of becoming world No. 1. As some of the greatest players tennis has ever seen reach the twilight of their careers, there is room for a new generation of players to claim the spotlight. 'Break Point' gets up close and personal with these top players on the tennis circuit through an entire year traveling across the globe for all four Grand Slams, the ATP Tour and Hologic WTA Tour.
From physical injuries and emotional heartbreak, to triumphant victories and personal moments off the court, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at the pressure-tested lives of these pro tennis players.
The first five episodes of 'Break Point' premiered on Netflix in January ahead of the Australian Open, and featured Felix Auger-Aliassime, Paula Badosa, Matteo Berrettini, Taylor Fritz, Ons Jabeur, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Nick Kyrgios, Maria Sakkari, Ajla Tomljanovic and Casper Ruud. The remaining five episodes of the first season will premiere in June.
