In this week's mailbag, jon_wertheim looks at the puzzling Australian Open coverage on ESPN and ponders what the future of Naomi Osaka's career might look like

Your good soldiering reminder: Lindsay, Steve, Prakash and I are doing the Tennis Channel pregame shows, which starts 5p ET every night.I just got done watching Andy Murray beat Matteo Berrettini and now I am supposed to go to sleep? But seriously, how far can Andy go now?When the draw came out, Murray versus Berrettini was the match we all italicized, bolded and put under hi-liter. And it delivered.

Drive to Survive, very similar to Break Point, wasn't created for an audience such as you and me. D2S was created for a curious yet general audience in the US, and lo and behold, it was highly successful. My friends who thus far do not know much about F1 absolutely loved the storytelling aspect of the doc by Netflix. The purists blamed for taking a few creative licenses, but on the whole, it helped so many fans who live in America, and all over the world—consume F1 in such a delightful way.

Here, for example, is Austin Karp of Sports Business Journal: “Made it through first five episodes of "Break Point" on Netflix. I think the docuseries comes at a perfect time for tennis. Who will take the mantle after Serena/Venus/Roger/Rafa/Novak? Getting to know the newer names and their backgrounds was good. Looking forward to the rest.”I saw you on Tennis Channel discussing which American men’s player you predict will finally win a major 20 years after Andy Roddick.

Wishing nothing but the best for both, I have more concern for Thiem. Muguruza has had these dips before and has played through them. Thiem seems to be confronting a new set of emotions and doubts. Also, this is where best-of-three versus best-of-five can hurt players. At least in majors, it takes a lot less for her to start consolidating wins—and therefore confidence.So it’s a U.S. holiday. Tennis fans have been eagerly waiting all day to watch the many tasty matches on tap.
