World No. 9 Taylor Fritz shared his thoughts on the tennis documentary series Break Point, which Netflix will begin releasing in January.


I don`t know if I want to watch it. I`m afraid. I`m scared of how they might edit everything. Especially because I didn`t try to filter myself at all. Yes, I tried to be very, very sincere. But they can edit it however they want.


It`s like with Nick [Kyrgios]. You can edit it to make Nick look like an amazing guy. Or you can make him look like a villain, which I think is probably just because that`s how a lot of people in tennis see him - although I think he`s a great help to the sport.


I`m really excited about how the series can impact tennis, especially in the United States. Many people do not understand that in the USA they know little about tennis. We always joke when we come to Europe. We arrive somewhere, people recognize me and ask me to take a photo. I say: This would never happen in the USA.


He also spoke about standard tennis interviews.


I`m tired of them. It`s so boring. It`s always the same.


I just didn`t want to behave differently in front of the cameras. I wanted to be the same person I always was, and I decided that if people hated me, then so be it. But I hope not. In tennis, the fanbase is much older and very traditional. So anything that might seem controversial and out of line, like not the usual memorized answers to questions from the press, people get very upset about that. I would say that what is missing is the invitation to be different. I would say that what is missing is the call to be different.
