Ever since Willy Novinsky picked up a racquet at the age of four, tennis has been Willy`s one love, until the day she meets Eric Oberdorf. She`s a middle-ranked professional tennis player and he`s a Princeton graduate who took up playing tennis at the age of eighteen. Low-ranked but untested, Eric, too, aims to make his mark on the international tennis circuit. Willy beholds compatibility spiced with friendly rivalry, and discovers her first passion outside a tennis court. They marry. Married life starts well but soon gives way to full-tilt competition over who can rise to the top first. Driven and gifted, Willy maintains the lead until she severs her knee ligaments in a fall. As Willy recuperates, her ranking plummets whilst her husband`s climbs, until he is eventually playing in the US Open.
