Laura Robson has shared her reaction to the trailer release of the new tennis-centric series ‘Fifteen-Love'.
On June 21, the first trailer of the upcoming series ‘Fifteen-Love’ dropped. While the date of release hasn’t been announced, the British television series is slated for launch on Amazon Prime Video. The opening season is believed to have six episodes.
The series is set in the world of elite tennis and showcases the dark side of the sport. It revolves around Justine Pearce, a former prodigy whose career is derailed after a wrist injury.
It proceeds to highlight her sexual abuse allegations against ex-coach Glenn Lapthorn, with whom she reached a semifinal of the French Open. The series is expected to showcase the player’s fight for justice and stars Ella Lily Hyland and Aidan Turner in the leading roles.
The program is created by the makers of the famous British television series 'Line of Duty', with a contribution from former British player Naomi Cavaday.
It is worth noting that the series’ trailer was launched a day after the trailer release of Zendaya starrer ‘Challengers'.
Retired British player Laura Robson was impressed by the trailer and expressed her happiness about tennis-related issues getting the spotlight.
“Oooo another one! Tennis is having a moment,” Laura Robson said.

“I will be front row for this,” she said.
Australian player Daria Saville, who is on a comeback journey after a devastating ACL tear, expressed her feelings about the trailer.
“Wow!! This is actually so exciting! The knee injury made me (shocked emoji) tho lol,” she said.
It is worth noting that the trailers of 'Fifteen-Love' and 'Challengers' have come out amid the release of yet another series focusing on the sport. This is the second part of the documentary series Break Point – which dropped on Netflix on June 21.
