Andy Murray hopes to see Netflix tennis show

Andy Murray has urged tennis to produce a docuseries similar to F1’s popular Drive to Survive on Netflix. However, his level of optimism regarding the idea coming to fruition is low, due to fears of the sport not being open enough to grant behind-the-scenes access in that manner. In a talk with Eurosport, Murray said:

“I would [be open to a similar docuseries in tennis] because I think that there is huge benefit to the sport. I don't think tennis is open enough to allow access like that. It's a difficult one because, yeah, it's brilliant."

He further said:

“A lot of people have spoken about Drive to Survive. I've watched a few episodes myself. I haven't watched the whole thing but I enjoyed it and, yeah, something like that would be really good for tennis. A lot of players would [be open to it] but you also need to trust the people that are filming as well."

He added:

“There has been documentaries or docuseries in the past that have followed sports teams and it hasn't gone well. The football teams or whoever have come out of it looking terrible. So I think providing it's done well and that there's a level of respect and trust there between the athletes and the people that are filming it, I think it can be unbelievably positive.”
