Tennis is the sport featured in Netflix's documentary series Break Point. The series follows professional players behind the scenes as they compete across the ATP Tour and WTA Tour, focusing on the pressure of rankings, injuries, travel and Grand Slam ambitions.
The first part, released on January 13, 2023, covered tournaments including the Australian Open, Indian Wells, Madrid Open and French Open. Its subjects included players such as Matteo Berrettini, Ons Jabeur, Nick Kyrgios, Paula Badosa and Maria Sakkari. A second part continued with events including Wimbledon and the U.S. Open period.
Break Point was produced by Box to Box Films, the company behind Formula 1: Drive to Survive. That connection can cause a common mix-up: both series use an intimate, competitive sports-documentary format, but Break Point is about tennis rather than motor racing. The show was made in collaboration with the Association of Tennis Professionals and the Women's Tennis Association, giving it access to both men's and women's professional circuits.
