Years later, Qin Zheng, the tennis GOAT and a Grand Slam champion, can still recall the match that made her famous. During many of those long rallies, she almost thought she was going to lose. The spin on that ball felt like a tiger's jaws closing around her neck, filling her with pressure, fear, and despair.
But when she struck the ball, she thought of the countless times she'd swung her racket under the blazing sun, and found incomparable courage.
Qin Zheng didn't have the strength, flexibility, or mobility of other players. All she had was a heart willing to risk everything.
People watched her wager everything against fate. The victor becomes king and the loser is vilified, but she refused to give up either way.
*There is a romance subplot. This is my take on fantasy tennis, so don't overthink it.
