Summary
She was 0–13 against the Czechs.
Was.
Because about five seconds ago, you overhit a baseline return, and now she’s clutching her head with both hands, her eyes disappearing into little more than lines as her entire face lights up with joy at winning the Birmingham 2026 title.
Alex Eala is now 1–13 against your flag.
All thanks to you—Nikola Bartůňková, the only Czech who couldn’t beat the most popular girl on tour right now.

Summary
It’s the sheer goddamn emotional and logistical inconvenience of it all that makes Karolina so sure that this isn’t a crush, or a fling, or a bit of harmless fun.
If she didn’t care, she wouldn’t bother.

Summary
Jannik hits a clean shot, a lashing forehand that lands the ball deep in the ad court, grazing the line and lifting a wisp of white off the grass. The kick of the topspin dizzies the ball into the air. Carlos, out of position, jumps and lunges toward it, throwing all of his weight forward.
Jannik can tell he’s going to miss. He’s already turning to his team, one fist raised, when the ball whizzes past Carlos’s outstretched racket.
He doesn’t see Carlos land. He doesn’t see him collapse into the dirt.
He hears a crack, like a heavy tree branch, snapping in a windstorm.
He only looks back when Carlos starts screaming.

Summary
It’s weird how it kind of creeps up on you, the realisation that she’s not just really talented, she’s also really pretty. But you’re used to wishing you had her height, her movement, her spin, so it feels natural to think wistfully about her eyes and her hands as well.
(It takes you longer - a lot longer - to realise that maybe you don’t want to be her at all.)
