The documentary, which is set to be fully released this year, promises to offer an inside look at the world of professional tennis, including the challenges and triumphs faced by these elite athletes. However, it seems that not everyone is happy with the level of access granted to the film crew.

In a tweet, Andy Murray expressed surprise at the amount of people following players around at tournaments and the level of access they were given. He compared this to the filming of his own documentary a few years ago, where he faced difficulties in getting permission to film at Wimbledon and the US Open.

"Was interesting to see the sheer volume of people following the players around the tournaments/slams. Big crews. Given all access. Stark contrast to when my documentary was getting filmed a couple of years ago and Wimbledon/us open couldn’t have been any less accommodating."
