Match point. One good serve and his name, Chad Peters, will be etched on the trophy. And in people’s memories.
Across the net, the stony-faced defending champion, Ivor Krajic, stares back. Chad breathes deeply as sweat drips from his chin and evaporates off the court surface. This moment – it's everything he’s worked for.
He tosses the ball and hammers down a serve. A winner, surely? But Krajic, lightning quick, crushes Chad's burgeoning euphoria with a searing forehand down the line. Chad lunges, racquet outstretched. His shot is weak and the ball loops tamely into the net.
“Deuce.”
Chance blown.
