I'm Rebecca Lervoy and this is you can't make this up as the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind

your favorite Netflix documentaries and films. On today's episode, we take a closer look at the Netflix documentary series Breakpoint.

For the last decade, we've been blessed with an era of greatness.

Roger, Rafa, Novak.

We can't just wait for them to retire.

We need to find a way to try to win.

After decades of dominance, tennis's legendary names are leaving the game.

Now a new generation of men and women athletes are ready for their place at the top.

But who has the makings to be tennis's next champions

and household names?

Part one of Breakpoint is an intimate globe trotting look

on the court and behind the scenes with up and coming

stars grinding it out on the grand slam circuit. They include a Murkurial

Aussie who finds success with teamwork, an Italian player who's ascending the ranks while his

Australian girlfriend is falling. An American who serves a matchpoint on his hometown court,

a Greek powerhouse trying to control her frustration, a Spanish

contender trying to cope with depression, a Canadian phenom whose famous coach has mixed allegiances, and a Tunisian underdog who shocks the sport.

Who among them will be the next to raise a trophy and become the number one tennis player in the world.

I know what I'm capable of and I know how much work I've put in.

Nothing in the whole world can beat that feeling of winning.
