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.
