The TVI Take

Netflix's 2023 Drive-to-Survive-formula docuseries about the men's and women's professional tennis tours. The structural commitment to letting individual-player cognition (Nick Kyrgios's match management, Iga Świątek's pre-match rituals, Taylor Fritz's recovery routines) be the show's actual subject is what separates it from the standard sports-docuseries practice.

Cancelled after two seasons.
