Tennis fans will soon get a new behind-the-scenes look at some of their professional favorite players. Netflix has announced a new documentary series that will follow some of the best tennis players in the world and give viewers a new look at a year in their careers.
The series is described as giving an unfiltered look at life in the competitive sport of professional tennis through the perspective of the players and their teams. To produce the series, Netflix has teamed up with the four Grand Slam tournaments, ATP Tour, WTA Tour and ATP Media.

“We are excited to continue to strengthen our range of sports programs with this behind-the-scenes documentary series,” said Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s Vice President of Unscripted and Documentary Series. “Tennis is loved all over the world, with high-stakes tournaments jumping across continents and athletes coming from countless countries.
