Ajla’s struggle to be at the top has been depicted beautifully in the second episode of the first season in Break Point. It features her match against Paula Badosa of Spain in the Australian Open 2022. Later that season, Ajla came back with a win against the undefeatable Serena Williams at the US Open. The player she had grown up idolosing was up against her, and she did not so much as flinch. Ajla’s dad was a major aspect of her emotional support during all her games.

Although Matteo and Ajla are no longer together, the pair seems to have been each other’s support during the Australian Open of 2022. Back when the episode was filmed, the pair were dating and Netflix captures that emotion perfectly. However, the main attraction of this story is her dad, who tries raising her spirits before her a match.
