The first season, launched in January 2023 and divided into two parts, followed a mix of champions and stars in the making in 2022, from Nick Kyrgios to Casper Ruud to Ons Jabeur, Taylor Fritz or Maria Sakkari.

This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the daily lives of the players and learn about their history. Like that of Aryna Sabalenka, who promised her father, now deceased, that she would win a Grand Slam before her 25th birthday.

The second is expected to have more episodes (six are offered in this first session) and follows newcomers, such as Carlos Alcaraz (world number 2), Daniil Medvedev (number 3), Coco Gauff (4th in the WTA) or Holger Rune (8th in the world). Novak Djokovic is still out...

Another episode sheds light on Alexander Zverev's journey since his serious ankle injury, Porte d'Auteuil in 2022.

"I watched season 1 and I was hooked," she confided on the sidelines of the Lyon tournament. There is a desire of many players, including me, to share what goes on behind the scenes. We are going through something extraordinary, but there are more difficult moments and everyone tends to forget these parameters. It makes you want to open up a little. Tags:
