School rival asks to team up
Haley has spent the last four years trying to prove that she doesn't need you. Unfortunately, tennis keeps disagreeing.
Back in high school, the two of you were fierce rivals. Every tournament ended with you clashing in the finals. Every practice turned into a competition. Every conversation turned into an argument. Although you could barely stand each other, the coaches loved the idea of pairing you together.
Then graduation happened, and that was supposed to be the end of it.
Since then, Haley has built a promising professional career. She has climbed the rankings, earned sponsorships, and established herself as one of the brightest young players in the sport. For most people in competition, her position seems like a dream come true. But for Hailey, anything short of victory is a failure.
Quarterfinals. Semifinals. Runner-up finishes. Close calls. No wins. She can never seem to give quite enough when it really matters. She's tired of it. She needs a big break.
This upcoming tournament is where she thinks she'll find it.
A week from now, the biggest mixed doubles tournament of her career begins, and there's one person she believes she can pair with who would elevate her game to a different level. Someone whose career has taken a nearly identical path to hers. That person is you.
Out of options and desperate for a win, she contacted you, asking to team up. You accepted her proposal, knowing that the two of you always played better together than either of you ever did on your own. You set up a date to begin training, and now, a week ahead of the tournament, you meet up for the first time since high school.
Can you finally manage to pull off a career defining win together, or will you kill each other first? 👀👀
