"I mean you look at the few sports that have done Netflix series now F1, golf, tennis. Tennis finished third by a mile," he said during an interview on The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast.

Although the show has been renewed for a second season, the 25-year old believes the show lacks any real substance. Furthermore, he stated the tennis aspect of the show was significantly dumbed down.

"It was very basic," he opined. "They really dumbed it down too much in the tennis aspect. They weren’t controversial. I was surprised to the extent they shared in F1. You really get an inside look. It’s as transparent as it can be and it’s as censored as you can imagine in tennis."
