‘Break Point’ Inspires Netflix Curse Theory at Australian Open

It’s wildly all a coincidence that these 10 players would withdraw before the tournament or lose during the first four rounds of competition, especially as most of them were favorites to take home the trophy.

The last player to lose from the show was Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who just two days prior to his loss didn’t believe in the so-called “curse.” His mindset may have changed now, though.
