This is very much a lightweight series despite the serious storyline. Unfortunately there really aren't many likeable characters, if any.
However, the biggest issue is the tennis. It's simply not feasible to try to make a TV show or movie about players competing in 'grand slam' tennis tournaments when you don't have the rights to use the real tournament names. It just totally takes you out of the moment. Worst still, there was absolutely no reason to try to do this as they could have made up some big tournaments and the story wouldn't have been affected.
In addition, they should have found some actors who could actually hit a tennis ball correctly - they are supposed to be elite stars. This especially applies to the main male player.
If you watch pro tennis this series is supposed to be for you I guess but it will bug the hell out of you.
Overall it's OK but absolutely nothing special.
