Break Point: Casper Ruud, Felix Auger Aliassime, Taylor Fritz weigh in on pros and cons of Netflix series
The HinduRising tennis stars featured in the Netflix tennis docuseries “Break Point” said it had raised their profiles and boosted the game’s visibility even if it does not always show their best side. “One lady came up to me at Publix in Florida and said, ‘Me and my husband were watching you last night on the Netflix show’,” Ruud told reporters on Wednesday, the first day of main draw action at Indian Wells. “I was quite angry, honestly, because the court crew wouldn’t let us warm up before the match,” Ruud said. Nice interactions with people who maybe were not tennis fans before.” Fritz’s episode documented his breakthrough victory in the Indian Wells final last year and while he was happy with how it turned out, he said it may have given the wrong impressions about the ankle injury he played through in the title match.
