Viac o knihe
Carrie Soto is a fierce competitor whose relentless drive to win has made her a controversial figure in tennis. By the time she retires, she has become the best player in history, shattering records and claiming twenty Slam titles, all while sacrificing nearly everything under her father's coaching. However, six years post-retirement, she watches her record being challenged by a formidable British player, Nicki Chan, at the 1994 US Open. At thirty-seven, Carrie decides to return to the sport for one last season, determined to reclaim her title, despite the sports media's disdain for her persona as the 'Battle-Axe.' She faces physical limitations and the challenge of training alongside Bowe Huntley, a man she once nearly opened her heart to, who also has something to prove before leaving the game. This gripping and unforgettable narrative explores the high cost of greatness and the complexities of a legendary athlete's comeback, showcasing Carrie Soto's relentless spirit as she embarks on an epic final season.
