‘Break Point’ is a tennis-based Netflix series featuring some of the top stars in the ATP and WTA circuit – the curse was recently complete.
The ‘Break Point’ curse is now complete as Felix Auger-Aliassime becomes the latest player to bow out of the Australian Open. All the 10 players who featured in the inaugural season of this Netflix series, have now either missed the tournament or been eliminated. Nick Kyrgios, who is one of the lead characters in this docu-series had to withdraw due to injury while others like Matteo Berrettini, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Ons Jabeur among others have been eliminated. Maria Sakkari and Felix Auger-Aliassime are the last two players from this series to have been eliminated from the tournament.
Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime was the last player from the series to be alive in the tournament. While most of the other players were eliminated from relatively early rounds, Felix managed to make it to the fourth round in Melbourne. However, he was not immune to the curse and the sixth seed lost to unseeded Jiri Lehecka in four sets. Most of the players who had a role to play in this series are top-seeded stars and their elimination so early in the tournament comes across as a major surprise.
Let us take a look at what fans on social media have to say about the ‘Break Point’ curse.
“All of them were either injured or lost matches in which they were very heavy favorites (cept for Kokk). The curse is real”, wrote a fan.
“I look forward to Break Point part 2. Who’s years will be ruined next”, joked another fan.
“The only people I were expecting something from were Fritz and Jabeur. The rest are completely inconsistent or injured or burnt out (Ruud). FAA went as far as he honestly could because he was not good this tournament”, read a comment.
“And then there were none”, commented another fan.
Another fan wrote: “Season 2 players threatening to sue if Netflix releases their parts in the next season as we speak.”
