Netflix has announced an upcoming documentary that will chronicle Carlos Alcaraz’s 2024 season, set to be released in 2025. While many fans expressed excitement over the news, some have voiced a desire for a similar project focusing on Novak Djokovic.
The American streaming platform has announced that a docuseries will follow the 21-year-old Carlos Alcaraz both on and off the court during his 2024 season, set to be released next year
“People are going to get to know everything you don’t see on a tennis court. I think it’s something very different,” the Spaniard told Netflix
The announcement drew mixed reactions from fans. Some suggested that the media was trying to increase Alcaraz’s appeal, while noting that Djokovic often faces widespread disapproval.
‘The harsh reality is that rightly or wrongly, Novak — despite his greatness — isn’t universally liked. Carlos Alcaraz seems to be. Netflix care about viewership and not grand slam titles like tennis fans do. So obviously they won’t make one for Novak…,” one fan wrote.
“The media wants people to like Alcaraz so they boost him up. They could do the same for Novak, they should: but they won’t. He is from the “wrong country”, he displaced beloved Federer and Nadal. People believe all the media lies about him…,” another fan wrote.
“I would start with the greatest player in history Đoković. Bad management decision,” a third fan wrote.
“They do not care for Novak as you well know, and the feelings are mutual. Novak doesn’t need them,” yet another wrote.
However, some other fans showed excitement for the upcoming project.
“Exciting! Can’t wait to watch his journey unfold on Netflix,” one fan wrote.
