World No.9 Taylor Fritz dreads how the final cut of the tennis docuseries Break Point will turn out. The American tennis ace has admitted that the people working behind the show can "cut things however they want to."
The Netflix docuseries is expected to be raw and straightforward, divulging the inside stories of tennis players. While everything has been shot after receiving permission from players, it is to be seen how much backstage editing has been done to make things look more entertaining and appealing for the public.
In a conversation with The Sydney Morning Herald, Fritz expressed pessimism about the show as he fears about how things can be cut up and shown to the fans.
"I don’t know if I want to watch it," he admitted. "I’m scared. I’m scared of how things can be cut up. Especially because I haven’t tried to filter myself at all. Yeah, I’ve tried to just be very, very genuine. But they can cut things however they want to cut things."
Citing the example of Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios, the 25-year-old emphasized that the show might try to depict certain players as the "villain" so that fans would find it more captivating.
"It's like with Nick [Kyrgios]. They could cut it up to make Nick look such an amazing guy," Fritz added. "And then they could also cut it up to make him look like the villain, which I feel like they might do just because that’s how a lot of people in tennis see him - even though I think he’s great for the sport.”
