Russia’s tennis star Daria Kasatkina has responded to a journalist who partly blamed the players for the suspension of Netflix ‘Break Point’ series.

The world’s leading streaming service has suspended the Break Point series after it failed to achieve the desired results.

Sports journalist Rothenberg, in a post on his official account on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — partly blamed the players for the failure of the series.

"Man how I wish this show had been better. After watching Season 1 I thought they were lucky to get a Season 2. It just didn’t work. Not a shock it’s done. Blame the producers? The players? Both? Lots of time for post-mortems on a massive missed opportunity for the sport," he wrote. In response to that, Kasatkina wrote “Players? [with three crying emogis]."

It is believed that the series failed because of the lack of involvement of top players including the likes of the current men’s world number one and 24-time Grand Slam winner Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Spain’s legendary tennis player Rafael Nadal.

The women’s current world number one and four-time Grand Slam winner Poland’s Iga Swiatek did appear in the first season of the series but mysteriously was absent from the second one.

Players?😭😭😭
