when reporters asked him about it

“I was aware that players were losing, I’d see players were losing, but it didn’t cross my mind until [my girlfriend] showed me the [Netflix curse] thing this morning. I thought it was funny,” he said.

. And tennis fans reckon another big story to comes out of 2023’s Australian Open is the Netflix curse. What is that, you ask? Well ICYMI . From the genius minds behind Netflix’s epic Formula 1 series , the show explores the BTS lives of several pro tennis players. Fans have noticed that the people who appeared in are, uh, not faring too well at the Australian Open. And they’re calling it the Netflix curse. 10 players are featured in the first five episodes of the Netflix series. Three players — Nick Kyrgios, , and — pulled out before the Australian Open even started due to injury. Six more have failed to reach the second week of the tournament. See? Netflix curse! And these players are used to winning, with some of them ranked in the top 10. World no. 2 crashed out against , world no. 3 was defeated by and world no. 9 lost in five sets to . Meanwhile, world no. 14 and star lost in five sets to , who took out Aussie (also featured in ) in that six-hour second round epic. The sixth star to suffer a shock (potentially Netflix curse-induced) loss was sixth seed , who lost on Friday night. In fact, only ONE player from the entire cast still remains: Canadian . Who I’m sure is not sweating at all right now. Fans are now in full belief that a Netflix curse exists, and it won’t rest until every cast member is gone. Even Netflix felt the need to weigh in. Uh-huh. Whatever you say, Netflix. Either way, some folks believe last man standing Auger-Aliassime has what it takes to break it. Auger-Aliassime actually LAUGHED about the Netflix curse , which was probably a stupid thing to do. Don’t piss off the curse, mate! Guess we’ll see who has the last laugh when Auger-Aliassime takes on in his fourth-round match on Sunday.
