As a result, tennis becomes one of the most challenging mental games, especially at such a high level. “Break Point” presents the vulnerable part of the players who appear to the public as flawless, and emphasizes the mental battles that even the greatest players of all time must deal with. The show humanizes players that are deemed godly and provides comfort to all athletes that struggle with living up to their full potential.

The first episode focuses on Nick Kygrios, one of the most talented tennis players in the game, and his journey struggling to live up to his potential and dealing with pressure. At 19 years old, Kygrios defeated Rafeal Nadal, one of tennis’s most dominant players. From there, Kygrios became the teenager that beat Nadal; going from nobody to people camping outside his house. This pressure became intense for Kyrgios, especially as a kid, and he shares his journey dealing with his mental health issues. Similarly, the other episodes single out players and thoroughly cover their own individual journeys.

Each episode perfectly encapsulates the anxietyfilled points and matches that make tennis to be the exciting, delicate yet beautiful game it is.

After 6 years of waiting, SZA, Solána Imani Rowe, finally released her third debut album “SOS” leaving fans such as myself are absolutely gobsmacked. With her teaser single “Shirt” being released two months before the album’s release, fans were eagerly aching for more and SZA gave us more.

On Dec. 9, 2022, listeners all over the world were shaken with amazement at the sheer artistry that SZA exhibits on every one of her 23 songs. With her new album reaching No. 1 for the seventh consecutive week on the Billboard Top 200 chart as well as her most popular song on the record ‘Kill Bill’ also reaching top spot, SZA is now gaining the recognition she deserves. Though “SOS” possesses songs brimming with feminine confidence and power, her album also reveals a more vulnerable side of her music. Revealed through her album cover, “SOS” mainly covers the subject of loneliness in the eyes of fame, with the cover being a replica of a famous Princess Diana photo in which she sits on a diving board longingly staring at the ocean. Many inferred this to be a representation of the late princess feeling alone despite constantly being in the eyes of others. Once again, SZA has provided listeners of all ages and backgrounds a space to feel empowered while also acknowledging the vulnerability inside of all of us.
