| Abstract
|
:
|
Tennis is Willy Novinsky's one love. Ever since she picked up a racket at age four, she's been determined to become a star. But her family has been unsupportive, and Willy's fierce determination to play has left her with no friends and no other interests. Now 23, she's still only ranked 392 in the world and is reeling from the effects of a disastrous love affair with her longtime coach. Then Willy meets Eric Oberdorf, gangly, ambitious, attractive -- and a promising tennis player. Attraction turns to love, and Eric and Willy marry. But the marriage has a calamitous effect on Willy's game. As her game goes bad, however, Eric's improves.
