The docuseries on professional tennis is already in production: in Melbourne there are Netflix crews who are accumulating footage on the matches and behind the scenes of the Australian Open. The final product should follow the lines of Drive to survive, the series that told the life of the Formula 1 Circus, and will be joined by similar projects dedicated to golf and English football.
The novelty is that among the stars – according to what Dario Castaldo reports from Australia on behalf of the Fit website – among the stars of the docuseries there will be Matteo Berrettini. Which in addition to being one of the ten best in the world, today n.7 Atp, is also one of the best on the circuit. Berrettini will join other champions such as Sascha Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas, who have already made it known that they are involved in the operation. In particular, in recent days a Netflix troupe has followed not only the match but also the preparation of the match and the post-match, press conference included, of the match won in the second round by Berrettini over Stepfa Koslov. Sport, speaking on television, “pulls” a lot and the great season of our tennis falls at the right time.
“We are thrilled to continue strengthening our sports programming line with this behind-the-scenes documentary series,” said Brandon Riegg, vice president of Unscripted and Documentary Series at Netflix. «Tennis is loved all over the world, with very rich tournaments taking place across continents and with athletes from countless countries. Thanks to this historic partnership with the four Grand Slam tournaments, the ATP Tour, the WTA Tour and ATP Media, the series will be full of rare entries and rich personal stories that will surely attract both longtime fans and new audiences ” .
Netflix, we recall, is the leading streaming entertainment service in the world with 214 million subscriptions in over 190 countries.
