It will follow the 24-year-old former figure skating champion, Ilana Sedaka, in the center of the series. She will explore her opportunities to pursue a future with seven men and engage in various activities with them in hopes of finding her perfect match.

Sedaka explained the publicity approach that the USTA is trying to implement through this show and said (via New York Times):

“The U.S. Open realizes that for them to appeal to new audiences and tap into new sectors, they have to go where audiences are. Audiences are no longer chasing sports, we have to now chase our audiences.”

However, tennis fans were baffled by the announcement of this event by the US Open and heavily criticised it all over social media.
