Quote of the Day

We had huge hopes for 'Break Point.' After the 'Drive to Survive' success, we were thinking, ‘Oh my God, it’s so cool. Now Netflix is coming to tennis and we’re going to explode and blow up. Everyone will start to play tennis, like they all got into chess after 'Queen’s Gambit.' Unfortunately, it didn’t go the same way.
-- WTA player Daria Kasatkina, on the likely cancellation of the tennis-based Netflix series after just two seasons.
