Guillermo Vilas: Settling the Score

Tennis legend Guillermo Vilas is one of the greatest Argentinian tennis players ever with an impressive career, including winning four Grand Slam titles. But he was never recognized by the Association of Tennis Professionals as a No. 1 player. Settling the Score follows Argentine sports journalist Eduardo Puppo’s investigation into the ATP’s stats — and his efforts to prove that Vilas was wrongly denied the No. 1 world ranking in the ’70s.

Alcaraz

Rob Liggins

If you’re looking for more Alcaraz after watching The Netflix Slam, you’re in luck — but you’ll have to wait just a bit longer. The docuseries Alcaraz will premiere in 2025 and promises to give fans an inside look at the career of the youngest No. 1 tennis player in the sport’s history. “People are going to get to know everything you don’t see on a tennis court,” Alcaraz told Netflix earlier this year. “I think it’s something very different.”
