Andy Murray was delighted by the Netflix series 'Drive to survive' about Formula One and he would like to see one for tennis.
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.”
