Game, Set, Love (2022) Movie Script

1
This program is rated G
and is suitable for
general audiences.
Wimbledon 2000
and Venus stands at match point.
And Venus is the new champion,
a glorious, golden
moment at Wimbledon.
See that?
You can do whatever you put
your mind to, little girl.
This isn't a
song of surrender
This is a song of hope
This is a song of not
giving into your fears
Oh, sometimes you see
that it ain't like on TV
So chase it,
embrace it and seize
Your wildest dreams
No, don't cry in your words
Stand up till the lights
No, we're not giving in
No, we're not giving in
Hey.
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I just wanted to let you
know your dad's looking for.
Oh, am I in trouble?
You never, but if you're
interested in some trouble,
I could introduce you
to a club in town.
It's wild on the weekends.
I don't date my coworkers,
let alone another coach.
I could quit.
I could quit like right now.
And double my workload?
Don't you dare.
Steven, I'm gonna tell your mom.
Okay.
Hey honey, I'll be with
you just one minute, okay?
Take your time.
Which brings us to the
final moment in our countdown.
And the number one
tennis meltdown of the year
Shane loves a good countdown
Is no surprise,
William Campbell.
A true maestro of the meltdown,
dramatic displays of
emotion are his specialty.
Code violation?
Code violations for what?
I've had enough of you,
I'm gonna have a fit.
What?
Oh yeah, kick me
out of the game.
Kick me outta the match, do it.
I got dinner reservations
in 15 minutes.
Or at least they were,
when he was playing.
William has all but vanished
from tournament play the
last half of the season
after a series of brutal losses,
causing many people to wonder,
is the bad boy of tennis
done with the game?
What a mess.
Yeah, I like watching
him play though.
He's so gifted.
Yeah, gifted with anger issues.
So I have a favor to ask.
Yeah, I can give you
free tennis lessons.
Oh please.
You got all your best
moves from me, young lady.
I think mom would disagree.
I bet she would.
What do you need?
I was hoping you'd say a
few words at the fundraiser.
Public speaking was
always your mom's thing.
It's not really mine.
I'd love to.
And for the record,
you're my dad.
Any favor you ask me is
an automatic yes, forever.
Oh, thanks honey.
I gotta go.
I'm back to back till dinner.
You work too hard.
Yeah, tell that to my boss.
I'll get on that, yes.
Morning, everyone.
Good morning, Coach Taylor.
It's gonna be
another hot one today
so make sure you have
your sunscreen on
and you have plenty of water.
It's never too late to hydrate.
When you're ready, I
want to see some laps.
Four hand top spin,
aim for the cones,
you tell the ball where
it's supposed to go.
Again, what am I doing wrong?
You're hitting down on the ball.
Remember aim low to high,
finish the stroke
across your shoulder.
There you go.
Excellent, Argen, really nice.
Okay, that was a killer serve.
It's not nice to
sneak up on people.
You still got it.
What would you know?
It's not like you're
ranked top 10 for doubles.
Nine, but who's counting?
Hey.
Are you the Ashley
Wong, the tennis star?
Well I'm Ashley Wong.
Coach Taylor, could
you take a photo of us?
Of course.
Say rally.
Rally.
You know, you really
should be taking photos
with Coach Taylor here.
Did she tell you we were
double's partners early on?
She was way better than me.
Really?
I didn't know that.
No, not really.
Don't be so modest.
If you hadn't left the game,
we could be the team to beat.
Your mom's waiting.
She may think I'm a mean coach
who doesn't let you leave.
You here for Georgia Sun?
Have tournaments, will travel,
especially if it gives
me a reason to see you.
Did you find a new partner or?
I gotta duck out for
this promotional thing.
I will tell you
over lobster tails?
Seven, usual place?
Perfect.
We have a lot to talk about.
Okay.
Hello?
Ugh, I am so sorry
but I got held up
on an interview
and I haven't even left yet.
Oh no, really?
Yes and I'm so
far from the restaurant
that even if I left now
it will take forever.
You know Atlanta.
Oh, do you want to reschedule?
I just got here and...
Whoa, you'll never
guess who's here.
Who?
William Campbell.
What are the odds?
Well...
Don't tell me.
Surprise.
Really kinda wish I could
see the look on your face.
Ashley.
It will be
great for you guys to meet
and he can fill you in.
He's my new partner
so play nice.
Yeah.
And call me when you leave.
Okay, bye.
Hey, Taylor, it's
nice to meet you,
I've heard a lot about you.
Yeah, same but not from Ashley.
I saw you on Sports
Now this morning.
Ah, well you can't believe
everything you see on TV.
It was literally footage of you.
That it was.
So what's the bad
boy in tennis doing
playing mixed doubles?
Because I can.
I followed your career,
series of broken rackets
from stadium to stadium.
That's not true.
Our ball boy would do
a better job than you
and he told me that he
needed glasses earlier.
I'm sorry, was
that in confidence?
Oh yeah, yeah, you think that?
You're out of the
Christmas card list
and I write the best ones.
Thank you, we're gonna
need more wine than that.
I hope you don't mind,
I took the liberty.
This is actually one of the
labels I do print ads for,
you know, I kind of have to
just in case someone
puts me on the,
yeah, the gram.
Well, Ashley's
not gonna make it.
No, no traffic, right?
Yeah.
Are you gonna tell
me why I'm here?
Well, Ashley and I have been
doing some practice matches
and we haven't been
exactly clicking.
I don't think it's a big deal.
Yeah, of course you don't.
Well, Ashley's
fantastic, you know?
So I figure eventually
we'll just gel.
What does your coach say?
He quit.
Not how Ashley phrased it.
Okay, I fired him, he
wouldn't listen to me.
Generally, you
listen to your coach.
What?
I've been doing it wrong all
these years, that's sarcasm.
What else did Ashley tell you?
You lost four
coaches in six months.
It's a big deal.
Tournament's still
six weeks away.
You mean only?
Still haven't told
me why I'm here.
Well, it would seem like
Ashley has found a solution.
Oh great, what is it?
You.
It's gonna be great, yeah.
We should get one of those
celebratory seafood platters
with the dips.
Are you insane?
We're out of options, literally.
We've gone through the list.
I don't think being
your last choice
is the selling point
you think it is.
I don't know why William
is suddenly into
playing doubles,
but my agent thinks this could
be a good opportunity for me.
Don't think about him, help me.
At least watch us hit,
give us some pointers,
and if you don't
want to take us on,
well, at least we tried.
I'm gonna call you
when I get to the car.
Sorry that took so long, got
recognized in the bathroom,
always awkward
when that happens.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for dinner.
I would've split
it with you, but-
Oh yeah, no, don't
worry about it.
Anyway, nice to meet you.
Sorry it's not gonna work out,
gave it a shot for Ashley.
Well, I'm gonna give it a shot.
I'm gonna give you
a tryout tomorrow.
William Campbell
doesn't try out.
He just talks about
himself in third person?
On second thought, maybe
a tryout's a good idea.
Great, see you at the
club at 8:00 AM sharp.
Bye.
William Campbell
looks forward to it.
Well, I texted him.
Is he always this late?
Am I late?
You know you're late.
Let's just get started.
William, this is my
world class dad, David.
Hi there.
And this is Juan
Carlos, he works with me,
he's a talented coach.
I am?
Absolutely.
It's a pleasure to meet you
but I thought today was gonna
be a private coaching session.
The guys agreed to
do a friendly match
so I can see how you and
Ashley work together.
Don't play friendlies,
never feel real.
They're taking time
their day to help us.
So just try not being
yourself for an hour
and let's do this.
Oh, ouch.
I can't coach you if
I don't see you play.
Hey look, it's always
been a dream of mine
to play with a champion,
so come on, indulge me.
Sure, let's play.
Ashley, cover the court.
Oh yeah.
Ashley, cover the court.
I'm sorry, old
William, old habits.
Outside of that, do you know
why you guys lost the point?
Oh, well I moved
early, I guessed wrong
but she wasn't
there to cover it.
There's no way
I could get to it.
Because?
Because I had no idea
which way he was gonna go.
Exactly, you didn't signal
and Ashley didn't know
which side of the court
you were covering.
So it was my fault,
that's what you're saying?
I'm saying you need to
communicate better, William.
You're still thinking
as an individual.
We've talked about this.
We have and we
said it's a process.
And you need to work harder.
One plus one has to equal one,
a team where you guys know
what each other's thinking,
you know each other's
strengths and weaknesses.
Huh, and you really think
you can help us with that?
If you trust the process.
We need her, William.
Fine.
Fine?
Fine, Ashley says
you're the one, fine.
Thank you, I know
we can do this.
See, I can be a team player,
plus, I have a massage
in a half an hour so.
Of course you do.
Tomorrow morning,
bright and early.
Yeah, whatever you say, coach.
He's so annoying.
He'll come around.
Beautiful Ashley, you
have incredible control.
Little cautious on
the second serve.
I know, I hold back,
it's always been a problem.
Trust it, you know
what you're doing.
Any idea where William is?
He promised he would
be here today so.
Ugh, you're gonna hate this.
No doubt in my mind.
He's at a photo shoot
for his sponsorship.
"Tell Taylor not to be mad."
Don't be mad.
Didn't he know
about this last night?
Devil's advocate,
maybe he didn't.
His agent does his schedule
and obviously Will
never pays attention.
Text him back, ask him
where the photo shoot is.
Wait, why?
What are you gonna do?
I need more.
William, give me more.
More what?
Attitude, drive, passion.
Play to the camera.
Be a cat, a Panther.
You're kidding, right?
The world of
tennis is your jungle
and you are master of
it, strong, powerful.
Barry, can I get a
translation on this?
What?
I think he wants more
movement, more action.
Isn't that right, Gunther?
He's just standing
there wearing the clothes.
What am I supposed
to do with that?
I'm not a model, okay?
If you wanted to action,
put me on a court.
He's your client, Barry.
Help me.
Okay, okay, just calm down.
Look buddy, I know you hate
this stuff, you look great.
Okay, why don't you just,
hey, here, practice your serve.
Okay, do something or we're
gonna be here all day.
Guys, it's looking great.
It's looking so good.
Just keep it up.
Will, show me the
money man, come on.
Oh, fans need to wait outside.
I'm not a fan, I'm his coach.
Eh, what?
That's impossible.
Barry.
Ah, Ashley.
Looking beautiful as always.
I see you've met our new
coach, Taylor Morrison.
Huh, okay, what's going on here?
Why exactly did
William hire you?
Will and I needed
help gelling as a team.
Okay, he should've
run that past me first.
Barry, the bottom line is
he should have been at
the club an hour ago.
I offered to coach them
as a favor to Ashley.
That's a very kind
and generous offer-
But the only way I can do that
is if they're together
on a court, not at a,
what is this, a fashion shoot?
That's exactly what this is.
Ah, the king of his domain.
Roar for me.
Okay, you need to trust me.
This is very important stuff.
The sponsor's pay the bills
and they need these photos
to promote the new
sports line so.
What the sponsors need
is for him to do well
in the tournament
and this does
nothing for his game.
But it does great things
for his bank account.
And yours too, I'm sure.
Haha.
Barry, tennis is a mental game.
If he's not confident,
it's not gonna happen.
Does he look confident to you?
Okay, I'm done.
Can we be done with this?
Okay fine, we're gonna try
things your way, all right?
Gunther, we're gonna need
William back on the courts.
Okay, we'll have to try
roaring in the next week or so
but I love your work.
Come on, bud.
Sorry about that, are you mad?
Definitely mad.
Just get changed,
I'll drive you back to the club.
I can ride with Barry.
Not a chance.
With me, I know you'll make it.
Tough love, I like it.
Ashley's waiting
in the car, just...
Okay, well, we're gonna
talk about this, okay?
Because I'm not
sure if I approve.
Woo, I love my job.
Gunther, are you crying man?
Come on.
I mean I did say I was sorry.
And Barry will now clear my
mornings from here on out.
Hey, I had to pretend to
be a panther, all right?
Is that not punishment enough?
Thank you.
Can we practice
when we get back?
Oh, I don't think we can.
I wasn't expecting to
hit this much traffic.
The club's closing early.
There's actually
fundraising event
for my mom's
scholarship program so.
Then, we'll be there.
- No.
- I have plans.
It's the least we can do
for wasting your time today.
Okay, I guess.
I do look good in a suit jacket.
It really highlights
my jaguar cheekbone.
Yeah?
I'm gonna turn on some tunes.
You guys like electric violin?
We are so thrilled you
could all join us today.
The hope and joy that this
sport can bring to all our youth
is why raising money
for tennis scholarships
and underserved communities
was my mom's passion.
Thank you for making
her passion her legacy.
You did great.
Thank you.
You really did.
But you said this was
a small fundraiser.
You totally undersold it.
Well someone started a rumor
that Ashley Wong and William
Campbell would be here.
Anyone know who that was, dad?
Oh, I have no idea.
Uh huh.
Oh, come on, it's
for a good cause.
A little star power never hurt.
I'm happy to help.
Well, in that case,
I know some people who'd be
very excited to meet you.
Dad.
Well lead the way,
but as long as you save
me a dance for later.
Done.
Okay.
Love you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Sponsor approved in case your
Instagram fans are lurking.
Ah.
Mmm, yeah, no that
is definitely it.
Ordinarily, I'd tell you
you couldn't pay me
to drink this stuff,
but obviously they do so.
Sorry I'm late.
Is Barry here yet?
I didn't realize he was coming.
No me neither.
But he said he
wanted to talk to me
so I said I would be available
for a small donation
to a good cause.
Very slick.
So the guest list,
mainly your students?
Mostly their parents.
That must be a nightmare.
Well, I mean dealing
with a bunch of people
who put all their baggage and
expectations onto their kids.
Get a little of
that but it's not bad.
My dad thought that tennis
was the worst possible
career choice,
told me that early and often.
He must be very
proud of you now.
Hey, there's Barry.
Probably push him
towards the buffet line.
Talks less with
food in his mouth.
Sorry to interrupt,
can I bar you for a sec?
The local press want
to take a quick photo?
Yeah, you two go,
I'll manage Barry.
Oh, good luck.
Ah, Taylor, you hiding
my client from me?
I don't think that's possible.
He's got a very big mouth.
Well, I'm glad we
have a moment to talk.
Why is that?
I just want to hear
what your angle is.
Why are you really doing this?
Ashley's my best friend.
Okay.
Look, I did some research.
You were having very
impressive stats
before you left the tour.
Are you thinking
about going pro again?
Are you using this coaching
gig as a stepping stone?
No, that's not it.
No?
Because the sponsors
are already nervous.
If the sponsors are nervous,
it's because of his losses,
not about a little
extra coaching.
Taylor, you don't know
what the sponsors look at.
Why is he doing
these doubles matches?
Ah, we don't really
comment on that.
Well, people are
gonna want to know,
you got to come up with a
better answer than that.
Mmm, it's fun, that's why.
Do people not play sports
for fun around here anymore?
People do, top ranked
athletes usually don't.
They usually avoid anything
with the risk of injury.
Look, I have nothing
against you, I really don't.
I do all the hiring.
William gets me to
vet all his coaches
and all major
decisions go through me
and that is for
his own protection.
I know what's best for him.
Well, you two seem
like you're having a
intense conversation.
There he is.
I'm a big fan of this song.
You uh, do you want to dance?
Yeah.
Have fun.
Thanks for saving me.
Yeah, he can be a lot.
Barry's a good egg though.
He's taken care of me
for a really long time.
May I?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Whoa, whoa.
I know.
See, last year I did
that celebrity dance show.
I got a couple moves.
Weren't you kicked off first?
How dare you?
I was kicked off third,
which is what I'm told a
very respectable number.
Yeah, but you were
getting shown up
by like football players.
Okay, you know what?
The celebrity dance
show, very stressful.
Wait, let me finish,
I was gonna give
you a compliment.
You give me a compliment,
okay, I want to hear it.
The dance show, you committed,
you saw it all the way
through to the end.
That's all I want you
to do with tennis,
just commit and see it
through no matter what.
Okay, you got yourself a deal.
Okay.
Mmhmm, can I make a confession?
Yeah.
I was kicked off first.
Yeah, I know.
Lost to the magician.
Mmm, that's so sad.
Yeah.
You seriously want us
to practice in this?
Do you seriously want to win?
Okay.
You two have a
surprising advantage.
You haven't been
playing together
so your opponents won't
know what to expect.
That's actually not bad,
I hadn't thought about that.
But I've been watching videos
of your exhibition matches
and I think we need
to work on your serve.
My serve?
Okay, my serve is the
best part of my game.
It's also very easy to read,
especially with two players
watching your every move,
comparing notes.
I've said that.
You did.
Oh, but there is one thing
that I want you to
work on this afternoon.
And what is that?
How to move like a panther.
So I'm just never gonna
live that down then?
Nope.
Nope.
Why don't you hit the gym
while I work with William?
Yeah, you got it.
Okay, get out here, go.
Bye.
All right, let's get started.
Show me your serve.
Let's do it.
Oh yeah, this is a great idea.
How are you gonna
improve on that?
Like that.
You know, Ashley told
me that you came home
to look after your mom.
You never went back
to the circuit, why?
We're not here to talk about me.
Again.
I can do this all day really.
And that's your problem.
And what is that?
You play poker?
I've been known to
play the big three,
poker, blackjack, go fish.
So you know players have tells,
eyebrow raises,
ticks, finger taps,
body language that lets you know
if they have a good hand or not.
Okay, indulge me.
What is my tell?
It's your toss.
Pick a serve, toss the ball,
I'll tell you where you're
going before you hit it.
Straight down the middle.
How about this?
Slider, out wide.
I could do this all day.
So how do I disguise it?
You know, I asked
around about you.
They used to call you the
ice queen on the tour.
I haven't heard that.
Calm and collected
under pressure,
that's what you were known for.
You spot a
difference on the toss?
No, I did not.
Because there wasn't any,
that's what we're gonna work on
after this class.
- Good morning, Coach Taylor.
Hey!
Hey coach.
Ashley and now William Campbell,
we're totally going to a
celebrity tennis school.
William Campbell is watching us?
I don't think I can do it.
William's just a normal guy.
Oh, I don't know about that.
Those eyes, stunning.
I'll be over here.
Okay, we gotta stay focused.
Today's just a typical day.
Let's warm up.
Argen, you too.
All right guys, let's go.
Wow.
Great job, Argen.
Woo, good job.
Hey, what's your name?
Argen.
You got a good serve.
Argen?
Oh God, Argen?
Uh oh, Argen.
I think I broke Argen.
He's not broken,
he's just in shock.
I think he's
outgrown his racket.
Well, how about this?
Use my racket, I'll take yours.
I think this will
help you out a little.
I'm gonna use William
Campbell's racket?
You absolutely will, yes.
So Argen, buddy, I'm gonna
watch you hit a couple balls,
would that be okay?
Yeah.
Hey, is that okay if I step in?
No, jump in.
Cool, may I?
Yeah.
Here you go, go for it.
There you go.
Nice buddy, remember, you
can't hit what you can't see.
So hit, finish, get
back in position, okay?
One more?
Yeah.
That's more like it.
Good job, here.
That's what I'm talking
about, good job.
Not gonna slow me down
Not gonna slow me down
Not gonna slow me down
I'm the fastest thing around
Not gonna slow me down
Not gonna slow me down
Not gonna slow me down
I'm the fastest thing around
Woohoo
Woohoo
Woohoo
I'm the fastest thing around
All right, great
job today, guys.
Let's give a big thank you
to our co-teacher,
William Campbell.
Thank you, thank
you, great job today.
Good job guys.
Have a good day.
No, no, no, what do
you think you're doing?
You look way too good
using that thing.
You should keep it.
I can't keep
this, it's too much.
Mmm, what do you
say to this then?
How about you keep it for now?
When you make it to
your first US Open,
you and I play for it, deal?
Deal.
Okay, good job
today, really good.
What?
Nothing.
You want a child size racket?
You should have
seen Argen's face
shen William gave
him his racket.
Will can surprise
you, no question.
One minute the sound of
his voice fills you with rage
and the next you want
to give him a hug.
You want to hug him?
No, but Argen gave him a hug.
What are you talking about?
Nothing, nothing important.
Great work today.
Thanks.
I was talking about me.
Of course you were.
Listen, I've been thinking
and you guys definitely
have another problem.
Will's ego?
Don't be jealous
of my hair, Ashley,
we've talked about this.
You're trying to
play perfect tennis,
you're trying too hard.
And that's bad because?
There's no such thing
as a perfect game.
You try and make that
happen, you get tense.
You get tense,
you make mistakes.
You guys need to learn
to relax together.
I suppose you have a suggestion.
I do, you're gonna
need hiking boots.
Be careful coming through here.
Let everything go and
focus on the water,
the trees and the fresh air.
What are you thinking?
The flowers,
the wildlife, the sky.
William?
I am thinking that
you have a problem
with the way I play the net.
No tennis talk, you're
supposed to be relaxing.
I relax by talking tennis.
Not today you don't.
Today is about centering,
appreciating nature.
Exactly.
With every breath, the
only thing on your mind
should be the-
Bet I can beat you to
the end of the trail.
Not a chance.
Stop.
Notice the competitive
feelings, breathe them out.
Taylor's right, we should
totally stand here quietly
and appreciate the view.
Think I'll just race you there.
Code violation,
I have a witness.
Why do I even try?
Ashley!
Ah, ah, my knee.
Oh, this isn't good.
No, it's like the
opposite of good.
Is Shane here yet?
He's just parking.
I should have kept
you two on the court.
You were trying to
make a team out of us.
It was my fault for
trying to show off.
Hey, you know what?
Injuries happen.
A couple years ago,
I blew out my knee,
thought my career was over.
Obviously, it is not.
So you grind out
your physical therapy
you'll be back on
the court in no time.
The gang's all
here, Taylor, Will.
Hey Shane, how are you?
It's a torn meniscus.
Well, you will do anything
to get me to come home early,
won't you?
One sec, sorry.
Hey Barry, yeah no.
So she doesn't need surgery,
but rehab's gonna be
six to eight weeks.
There goes the tournament.
I'm so sorry, sweetie.
Just when it felt like Will
and I were starting to gel.
Yeah, no Barry, I understand.
All right, bye.
How's your agent
taking the news?
Not well.
Now trying to find me a
replacement for Ashley.
In three weeks,
how's that going?
Well it would appear
as if my reputation
is caught up with me.
They're either not good enough
or they're so good they don't
want to deal with my attitude.
You're not so bad once
people get to know you.
Tell that to the seven no ways
he just got off the phone with.
You know you could
skip this doubles match.
You don't even have to
play the tournament.
You asked me to
commit, see this through.
I was talking about committing
to working with a coach.
These are very
different circumstances.
Maybe.
I did however just tell Barry
about another possibility,
a player we haven't
reached out to yet.
Someone I know?
Super talented, gutsy, smart,
tennis IQ off the charts.
Make the call, she sounds great.
Yeah, she was a rising star
before she had to step away.
I think maybe though it's
time for her comeback.
Are you talking about me?
Oh, I'm definitely
talking about you.
You're a former
top ranked player.
Okay, the former
part kind of stings.
And I'm a former nobody.
And you're asking
to partner with me?
Barry will never go for it,
he doesn't even like
me coaching you.
Taylor, you're my
best chance at winning.
I kinda need a win.
Do you?
Sure you've had a few losses
at the singles tournament.
More than a few.
But you're a huge star.
You don't need to go
around collecting wins.
You know what you
bring to the table.
Yeah, my charming smile
and a bunch of meltdowns?
Everybody loves the show.
It's a game, not a show.
Sometimes it doesn't
feel like that.
You need to focus more on
the game, less on the fame.
That's the issue, sometimes
I don't know how anymore.
Barry signed you
up for mixed doubles
to get you to go back
and focus on the game.
He saw me imploding,
knew that if I didn't
get my confidence back
in front of a crowd,
then I might not ever place
singles or doubles again.
We both know that's not true.
Well, are you willing
to take that risk
and have that on your conscience
for the rest of the time?
William, this isn't
gonna be on my conscience
till the end of
this conversation.
And even if I agreed,
I haven't played at
this level in years.
What about Ashley?
I can't do that to her.
That's a great idea.
You don't think it sounds crazy?
It's crazy, crazy good.
I don't want to be responsible
for Will missing out on this.
I'd never hear the end
of it, from him I mean.
She's right about that actually.
You want her suffer like that?
I mean have a heart.
I might be biased,
but it sounds like the
perfect solution to me.
Yes, Taylor.
I have no idea how long
this recovery's gonna take.
Please, take Will,
you have my blessing.
See, she doesn't even want me.
Wait, you don't want me?
It doesn't feel right.
I'm not ready.
I can't just abandon
my dad and my students.
They'll understand.
I have a whole life out here.
This will totally blow it.
Then don't answer now.
Take a a day, think about it.
Take a day.
Think about it.
You're thinking about it.
All right.
Mmm, looks great.
So have you decided if you're
gonna accept William's offer?
It's way more
complicated than that.
Why?
Ashley gave you her blessing
and it's not like
there's an alternative.
Somebody replaces her
or William to drop out.
It's been three
years, I've moved on.
Three years of teaching
six classes a day,
you haven't lost a step.
There's nothing wrong
with my life as it is.
I'm comfortable.
Except it's not the
life you dreamed of,
you or your mother.
I can encourage you, but
the choice has to be yours.
Don't be afraid to make
the uncomfortable one.
So what do you say?
Pass the parmesan.
Thank you.
All right.
William.
Good morning.
What are you doing here?
You know, you had the
night to sleep on it,
so what's the verdict?
And before you answer,
look, tennis is my whole life.
I don't have a
relationship with my family
and my agent is
literally my best friend
so tennis, kind of all I got.
If the two of us being partners
is my best chance at being
the player that I used to be
I promise you I will
do whatever it takes.
I understand.
Also trusting somebody else,
kind of a big deal for me,
and for whatever
reason, I do trust you.
So win, lose, whatever it is,
you're the person I want
with me on the court.
Okay.
Before you say,
wait, that was a yes?
Yeah.
Was it the speech?
'Cause I kind of worked on it.
The speech was lovely
Thank you.
But I had already decided.
Oh.
If you're willing to
take a chance on me,
I'm willing to take
a chance on you.
Let's shake on it.
Okay.
But you liked the speech?
It was good.
It was really nice.
Thank you, yeah, it felt good.
There was a lot more too, yeah.
Oh, wow.
That was the abridged version.
Okay, text it to me.
Yeah.
Yeah
Got it?
My bad.
My bad, that was on me.
Communication, guys,
make sure you call for it.
Thanks for the reminder.
That's what I'm
here for, right Will?
Right, right.
No, no.
Yes, okay.
Come on, come on.
Yes!
That's what I'm talking about.
Okay.
Hey, you feeling
better about this?
One shot at a time.
It's all about teamwork.
Okay, I'm
here to spot if you need.
Don't need ya.
We can make it a trust exercise.
I trust that you can
handle this on your own
and then you trust that I'm
here to spot you if you can't.
Are you sure you
don't need help?
Maybe a little.
Okay, put this leg
like that, okay Good,
see, there you go,
better as a team, right?
Sure.
Tournament's next week,
should be hitting a
thousand balls a day,
which is how I
usually would prepare.
And we'll do that
but I need yoga to
focus on my inner calm
and I think someone they
call the maestro of meltdowns
might need help
in that area too.
Yep, fine.
We should get to
know each other better.
It'll help us on the court.
What more could you
possibly want to know?
My life's an open book.
Well, you said your dad
didn't want you to play tennis.
Okay, I'd rather
not talk about my dad.
So much for being an open book.
Fine.
Short version is he
owns a restaurant,
I was supposed to take
over, but I went my own way.
Well, you became a
world class athlete.
That's not how they saw it.
They're disappointed in me
for not following the
family career path.
We haven't spoken in years.
You should call 'em, invite
them to the tournament.
Well, that's
definitely not happening.
Come on, life's too short
to let things go unsaid.
Fine, we'll play for it.
If you can do this
next yoga pose,
you don't have to call
and you can continue
to live your sad life
of emotional chaos.
Emotional chaos, my band name.
Okay.
That is cheating!
Yes, yes it was.
Now can we talk
about something else?
Literally anything else,
religion, politics, dating.
- Dating.
- I was kidding.
You're successful, you're famous
and you're not that bad looking.
Not that bad looking, thank you.
Well, as long as you
don't mind the ears.
It might just be your haircut.
My hair is perfect.
All right, you know
what it's like.
Grand slams, Australian Open,
French Open, Wimbledon,
US Open, press tours,
it's just easier
if I do it alone.
Sounds lonely, just my opinion.
And have you been dating lately?
Nothing serious.
Ah, you touched
ear, that's your tell,
you're full of it.
No, I'm having trouble
hearing you actually.
Yeah, I know, it's the noise
from all the sad, emotional
chaos inside of you.
Come on, let's get back to work.
All right.
Other side, pigeon other side.
It's a silly name.
Hi dad.
Taylor, at this hour?
Yeah, the light was on,
I saw your car in the driveway,
I figured you were
here somewhere.
Like the new merchandise?
I love it.
If you want a discount, I've
got an in with management.
It's hard to pass that up.
What do you think?
On you?
Beautiful.
You're biased.
I'm your dad, it's
in the job description.
So you trying to
impress someone special?
No, I'm just really
nervous for the tournament.
Nerves are good,
that's what your mom
always said, right?
Keeps you on your toes.
You sure there's nothing
else you want to talk about?
No, there's no time.
William and I are spending
every waking moment together
until we have that
joint nervous breakdown
we've been working on.
There is such a
thing as over training.
Maybe you guys need to take
a break before the match.
And do what?
What about the lake house?
You guys can drive up there
this weekend, clear your heads.
Together, for the weekend?
How bad can it be?
We could get bitten by ticks
or walk through poison oak
or I could drown him
in the murky water.
Sorry, was that too dark?
You really need a break.
Yeah.
Live your life like
you was running out
Live a life, we've
got it screaming out
Oh, oh
Got it?
Yeah.
Thanks.
You're not lost, no
matter where you've been.
How long has your
family had this place for?
Since we moved to Georgia.
I think you're gonna like it.
Key under the flower pot?
Yeah, the last place
anyone would look.
Or the first, but you do you.
You're right, I love it.
Maybe I should find
a place like this,
some place to settle down
when my career is over.
I guess you got a few good
weeks before that happens.
I'm serious.
You could coach.
Kidding me, have you met me?
I don't have the
patience for that.
I've seen you at the club
with Argen and those kids.
You caught me on a good day.
Sports commentary?
Yeah, Shane makes
that look easy.
I don't know though,
I don't think I have
the charm for that.
Hmm.
You could argue that point.
No, I think you're right,
I think you should retire,
get a rocking chair,
whittle, knit.
You really never
afraid of the future?
Not really.
Then please, tell me
your secret, oh wise one.
You're not gonna like it.
Then now I really want to know.
I feel like if you
survive the worst thing,
that it gives you
this weird confidence
that you can survive anything.
Wow, that is terrible.
Yeah, I know it sounds bad,
but makes me see the
world in a different way.
Makes me see tennis
in a different way.
I know that no matter
what I'm gonna be okay.
Really very deep answer.
I thought it was
gonna be something
like hummingbirds made you
see the beauty in the world
and then you were less scared.
Hummingbird?
Hummingbirds, yep.
The only birds that can
fly backwards, miracles.
Oh, you're chalk full of facts.
Yep, I watch a lot
of National Geographic
when I'm on the road.
I also know a lot about Aztecs
and country veterinarians.
Huh.
Interesting people.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Opened up my heart today
Saw it need
something replaced
Tonight, I'm not gonna
stay inside this house
Off into the great unknown
Hoping I won't be alone
Tonight, I'm filling
up on what's around
What if this
night was forever
Would you come
spend it with me
It's starting to rain.
Yeah, want to head in?
Yeah.
Okay, let's do it, let's do it.
Come shining
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
So whoever gets the highest
card gets to ask a question.
I love it, let's play.
Okay.
Who's your favorite Avenger?
Easy, Ironman.
That is very on brand for you.
It is, isn't it?
What is or was your
favorite subject in school?
Math.
That is gross, mine was
EE, no wait, lunch, yeah.
Okay.
Chess or checkers?
Checkers, they don't have
play chess with the stars
so I'm not even entirely sure
how I'd learn to play that game.
Favorite food.
Breakfast.
Eh, that's a meal, not a food.
Okay, well agree to disagree.
We do disagree.
Do you still like to play?
This game?
No, I find it wildly repetitive.
No, tennis.
Do you still enjoy
playing tennis?
Sometimes I do.
And other times?
Other times, I
wish I was better.
Well, if you're insecure,
there's no hope
for the rest of us.
You know, when I was young,
I used to think if I was
the best on the court
that maybe one day my
parents would show up.
Obviously, we both
know how that went.
That must have been hard.
It was.
The point I'm trying to make
is that lately I've
had a lot more fun
playing tennis with you.
It feels like I'm, I don't
know, in the moment out there,
like all that noise
from all those years
just sort of went away.
Well, I got your back.
I appreciate it.
You hungry?
Growing up in a
restaurant has its perks.
That was delicious.
Do you get to eat like this
when you're on the road?
Yeah, when I can.
Trick is finding a
stove or an oven.
But what William Campbell
wants, he gets, right?
No, not always.
Certainly not recently.
I think people are
getting kind of tired
of my whole angry thing.
I haven't seen you do
that once, not in six weeks.
I don't know, it's the
entertainment part I guess.
You're faking it?
You're faking
emotional breakdowns?
No, obviously not,
I have a temper,
I just ham it up for the
fans every now and then.
That's the William Campbell
they expect to see.
That's probably why
you're struggling.
It's gotta be stressful like
keeping up that persona.
Yeah, lose more
games, lose more fans.
You could never lose
them, they love you.
No, they love a winner.
Could I say something
without offending you?
You can try.
I'm gonna try.
What you said earlier about the
worst thing happening to you
like giving you the confidence
to get through anything?
Yeah.
I really don't
think that's true.
Excuse me.
I'll explain.
The worst thing
did happen to you,
but I think it made you
more scared than ever.
You're hanging onto safety
at the detriment
of everything else.
Why would you say that?
Taylor, I mean,
I've seen you worry
about your life changing
at every step for us.
Wouldn't you be worried?
No, I wouldn't,
unless it was an
excuse that I was using
to protect myself
from something.
You're way too talented to
be hiding in the shadows.
I'm not hiding.
I came off tour because
my dad needed me
and that's why I'm here.
Did he tell you that?
No, but he would never say that.
I know how lonely he
is without my mom,
and no matter what he says,
I know that he needs me.
You're a good daughter.
Anyone would do the same.
I know that's not true.
I'm gonna think about
what you said, I really am.
I'm glad.
This was a good
idea your dad had.
We make a good team.
We do.
Come on, let's get dessert.
Yeah, I'll help you.
All right, we'll
see you in the stands.
Make us proud.
Okay.
Take care of Miss Taylor.
She is the best of us.
All right, well you
know, we're playing tennis,
not joining the Navy so.
I'm watching you.
All right.
All right, drive safe.
Okay.
See ya.
You're an odd one.
Yeah, I am.
(C)
You ready for this?
Ready as I'll ever be.
Ah Will, good you're here.
I've got an interview set up
for you in the ballroom, okay?
Shouldn't Taylor
come up me then?
Yeah, there'll be time
for that, don't worry,
but today, you're the story.
Come on.
Okay.
You good?
Yeah.
All right.
All right, looking sharp.
Here, you want me to take that?
Hey, Taylor Morrison.
We have you in our grand
suite with one king bed.
That can't be.
Two queens it is.
No, I mean I don't have a suite.
Compliments of William Campbell.
And guess who requested
a room next to yours?
Ashley, how's your knee?
I'm not running the New
York Marathon anytime soon
but at least I'm off crutches.
I didn't know you were coming.
I wouldn't miss it.
What time is it?
Good morning.
Thanks for tuning in.
I'm Shane Sanders sitting here
today with William Campbell.
William, let's
get right into it.
Sure.
It's well known that you've
been MIA from tournament play
and you've never-
Shane's doing the interview?
This can't be big
enough for him to cover.
It's not, but William hasn't
played tennis in a long time,
people are curious.
Suddenly this small tournament
is getting a lot of attention.
Well, you know,
you're right about that,
I haven't played a lot
of doubles in my career,
just charity events, exhibition
matches, for fun really.
So the obvious question,
why the change up?
Why now?
I just needed a new
challenge, you know?
Interesting that you
found it playing doubles.
Yeah, more than I expected.
Given the short
amount of prep time
that you and Taylor have had,
what do you think of
your team's chances?
You think you can win
your first time out?
Oh, I know we can.
Well, there you have it, folks,
that William Campbell confidence
is coming through
loud and clear.
This could relaunch your career.
Maybe or it could sink his.
Welcome everybody
to the first ever Georgia
Sun Tennis Tournament.
And what a perfect setting
for what's to come.
I'm Tracy Austin, here
with Shane Sanders,
and we have a very
exciting first round today.
That's right, Tracy,
Natalia Kolar and Jack
Roberts, a tough team to beat.
Yeah, both out of Seattle
and both with a long
history of titles.
They're certainly the
favorites to sweep the weekend,
but I think the
reason this tournament
is getting so much attention
is William Campbell back from
the dead and playing doubles.
No question.
And it's rare to get a chance
to see a player like
William Campbell,
especially playing mixed
doubles as an underdog.
This should be riveting tennis.
Stay tuned, folks.
Love you, Will.
Okay, remember to
breathe out there.
What else do you
tell your students?
Check your laces twice.
Okay, what else do
you tell your students?
Stop complaining.
Fun, you tell them to have fun.
So have fun, yeah.
It's nice of your
dad to show up.
Yeah, he's the
president of my fan club.
You should reach
out to your parents.
I know you want to see
them in the stands.
Well, it doesn't
matter what I want.
If they don't want it too,
then it's too late for us.
It's never too late.
Let's play the match.
Okay.
Court 13
as William Campbell and
his partner Taylor Morrison
take on the Hungarian team of
Laslo Vastog and Zola Nagy.
It's sure to be a tough match,
but I've seen Campbell and
Morrison practice a bit
so don't count
them out just yet.
This could be a
spectacular experiment
or a spectacular failure.
Vastog and Nagy serve,
first set in best of three.
In a surprise upset,
William Campbell
and Taylor Morrison,
who've never played
his partners before,
are out matching
the Hungarian team.
Incredible, six,
four in the first set,
five, two now in the second
and we're at match point.
Can they close it out?
Yes, that's what
I'm talking about!
Game, William Campbell
and Taylor Morrison
win the match two, 12.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
One match, one win.
You two are the talk
of the tournament.
Well, at least when
I'm doing the talking.
But really, the two of
you must be thrilled
with how it's going.
Of course, but this should
really be Ashley's week so.
Thanks Tay, but honestly,
it's a relief to have
the pressure off.
Maybe you should consider
a more permanent partnership
with Will if he's open to it.
What?
We've started talking
about me taking some
time away from tennis.
I want to travel to all
the places in the world
that do not have tournaments.
And she says she might
even let me join her.
We'll see.
But really, spending time
with you and your dad
made me realize
there's something to having a
life outside of all of this.
And you know,
when she does decide to
come back to the game,
she should be happier and
stronger than when she left.
Mmm, come here.
So how would you feel
about this being a
more permanent change?
Come over here.
Hey, as long as you
miss me desperately
and you call me every
month to tell me that,
then I think I'll get by.
You're funny.
Thank you.
You know, I really should mingle
with some of the people
from the network.
Do you mind joining me for that?
- Of course.
- Go for it.
Bye.
So tell me, what do you think?
This was always designed
as a temporary partnership.
You play singles.
I could play both if you
agree to be my partner.
This is premature.
Let's just play tomorrow.
Okay, okay.
But I still think today's win
is cause for a celebration.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
the champagne is only for photo
ops, not for drinking yet.
More matches to come.
Now, if you guys make
it to the finals,
you're gonna probably be playing
with those two right there.
They are cutthroat players
so less celebration
and more focus, please.
Well, hello friends.
Hey.
And this is Taylor, yes?
We haven't met.
Katrina Hampton,
Taylor Morrison.
Pleased to meet you.
Katrina actually represents
one of my biggest sponsors.
It's nice to see you back
on the courts, great style.
Thanks.
Tennis could use more of that.
Well, we're actually here
to talk about William's
sponsorship deal.
Yes, if he keeps
himself together
and avoids anymore
on court theatrics,
we might want to expand it.
Well, the theatrics are
part of his brand, right?
They used to be
part of his brand.
I like this version
of William Campbell.
Thanks but I say anything
new has to involve Taylor.
I wouldn't be here
without her so.
Oh, I thought she was
only subbing for Ashley Wong
in this tournament.
I'm not sure yet, actually.
We haven't signed
anything official,
but we're thinking
maybe this could be a
more permanent thing.
I think it might be
a little bit too early
to discuss any of that.
Agreed, we still have to get
through the tournament tomorrow.
But if we keep our
partnership going,
then Taylor's gonna
need her own deal
and that is non-negotiable.
William, this isn't the time.
No, no, no, I like it.
Like this might be the new
spin that we're looking for.
It's good.
Okay, great.
You know what, you
don't have a drink.
Why don't I get you something
at the bar and we can discuss?
I'll be in touch, Taylor.
What just happened?
Well, we're partners, you
know, we stick together,
we look out for one another.
I appreciate that,
but all of this, being
permanent partners,
that's it's more than
just a tournament,
it's a whole new life.
Taylor, you're always telling
me that life is too short.
If that's true, then shouldn't
you be chasing your dreams?
One sip.
Fine.
Oh my gosh, there he is.
Look, Will Campbell.
Better get used to this.
I'm not sure that's possible.
Hi, sure thing.
Another beautiful morning
here at the Georgia Sun
Tournament in Atlanta.
We're now taking you
down to court two
as the Cinderella story of
this tournament gets started.
And there we see William
Campbell and Taylor Morrison
being greeted like rock stars.
Taylor Morrison has been
a revelation, what a story.
From coaching kids
at a local club
to now playing
against Ronnie Kurlan
and Alexander Gluwig for
a spot in the finals.
Let's go Will and Taylor!
Woo, let's do this!
Whoa, whoa,
here they are, here they are.
Hey William, Taylor.
Hey, we got a question
please, quick question.
Bella Santos, Tennis Week.
Congratulations on the win.
The match today
was extraordinary.
What do you think when
you watch the footage?
It doesn't feel real.
It feels like I'm
watching someone else.
Well, I'm very sore
so it was definitely us.
For a team this new,
how do you explain your success?
Actually, I think, Taylor,
you could probably answer
that better than I could.
Oh, well that's simple,
William and I just have very
complimentary playing styles.
Watching you two,
I get the feeling that
there's more to this team
than just tennis.
Anything we should know?
It's just tennis.
For now at least.
For now at least?
Oh, you know this
week is tennis,
next week we might take
up curling, I don't know.
It didn't sound like that.
What did it sound like?
Nevermind.
No, no, please,
I want to know what
you're thinking.
I'm thinking this
isn't your floor.
Well, I am walking
you to your door.
A gentleman does that I hear.
I see.
We have the day off tomorrow.
You want to do something fun?
We could continue to
practice in the heat.
Which would be fun,
but I was thinking
maybe something
more like walk around the
city, clear our heads.
Okay.
Okay.
Night.
Night.
Hey, thank you for
doing this by the way.
Honestly, there's really no
one I'd rather be here with.
Me too.
Get a good sleep.
(Ds ch)
So why are you so reluctant
to be my permanent
doubles partner?
Ashley's all for it.
Barry hates the idea.
He doesn't think I'm
good enough for you.
I don't think that's true.
And in all fairness,
Barry hates everyone.
Okay, say we do something
as crazy as all that,
and I'm not saying I'm down,
one of us will have to move.
Okay, well I know you're
close with your dad,
I could come to Atlanta.
I don't even know
where you live.
Manhattan, block away
from a tennis club.
Actually, a unit just became
available in my building
right across the hall.
So one of us uproots
their whole life
and then what if our
partnership doesn't work?
And why wouldn't it?
I don't know, things happen
that pull people
apart all the time.
True.
We're not just any
people though, we're us.
Your dad's not mad I'm taking
up all your free time tonight?
No, actually he's
out with friends
and we're gonna go to
breakfast tomorrow.
I like it, man about town.
Feels like this is a big
weekend for all of us.
Yeah.
I actually wanted to talk
to you about something.
I am gonna pick the first song
and then you pick the second.
Okay.
Do you like surprises?
No, I love surprises.
Okay, well the only
reason I'm asking
is cause I hate surprises,
they stress me out.
Well, I think you're
gonna love this one.
Okay.
I think it might
have eaten my quarter.
That's a bummer, but
I really just wanted-
You hear that?
What?
It's playing our song.
We don't have a song.
Come here.
You know, I used to get
very mad on the court,
yeah, get distracted
by all the noise,
but when I'm out there with you,
I just feel more in the moment,
like you're all I
listen to, all I want.
This is a bad idea.
Possibly.
We can ruin everything.
I really don't think it will.
William.
Taylor, if you don't
want to do this, I...
When will I know
I had to kiss you.
They were playing our song so.
Make time to show you
You're the only one for me
But I needed a sign
Thought you needed a scene
But I looked deep
into your eyes
This was a really nice night.
William.
Hello son.
Dad, mom, what are you,
what are you doing here?
Taylor invited us.
They're here early, surprise.
Why would you do this?
You said you like surprises?
Fine, you said it was too
late to connect with them.
I just wanted to prove to
you that you were wrong.
Taylor, I'm not
one of your students,
okay, you don't have to teach
me a lesson or something.
That's not what
I was trying to do.
You should have
talked to me about this.
I tried.
You should have tried harder.
I'm sorry.
I really wish my mom was here
to watch us in the tournament.
Maybe I was projecting and I
thought that's what you wanted.
I get that.
But Taylor, I don't
share your issues.
What issues are those?
You're afraid to say
goodbye to your dad, I get it,
you're afraid of
what that means,
but I don't share that
dynamic with my parents.
I'm not afraid.
I'm sorry, but you really
shouldn't have done this.
Will.
I heard what happened, man.
I got to say she probably
just thought she was helping.
Yeah well what
she doesn't realize
is that my relationship
with my parents is over
and I'm fine with that.
Yeah, you sound fine with it.
She wants me to
sit down with them
and talk about my feelings.
I'm not gonna do that.
She's right, Will.
No, no, you don't get to
take her side on this one.
Okay, I pay you to
be on my side, Barry.
Hey, I'm always
on your side, man.
Thank you.
That's why I'm
agreeing with Taylor.
You have unfinished
business with your folks.
And I know that you're mad,
and yes, she could have
handled things better,
but she cares about you,
too much to let you live
some half life without them.
And that right there,
that's a real partner.
Oh, oh and after dinner,
we went to a jazz club.
I felt like I was 18 again.
And then we bought llamas
and rode them to the moon.
I'm glad you had fun.
Taylor Ann Morrison,
what's going on with
you this morning?
I'm just afraid if I
do well in the tournament
that my career is
gonna take off again.
That'd be great news, sweetie.
Why would that be so bad?
Because then I'd have to leave
you and you'd be all alone.
Taylor, I love you.
It would destroy me if I
thought I was holding you back.
You're not holding
me back, it's me.
Mom's gone and you're all I
have and I can't leave you.
Taylor, I love
that you cared enough
to stay around after your
mom passed, I needed it,
but it's time for you
to take your life back.
Don't let fear keep you here.
You listen to me,
I'll be fine.
I miss your mom,
I always will,
but I need to start
rebuilding my life
and she would want
you to do the same.
I want you to follow your heart.
Okay, I'm afraid
I messed it all up.
You were good at
something I didn't understand.
What does a third
generation restaurant owner
know about tennis?
So we stopped talking
because you were jealous?
See, I can't talk to him.
Honey.
I was ashamed of myself.
People told me that you
were gifted at 10 years old,
that you needed certain
lessons, clothing, equipment.
I couldn't afford most of it.
What are you talking about?
I had everything that I needed.
He got a second job.
What?
He never wanted you to know.
I would've quit.
That's why I didn't
want you to know.
No, that's not true,
you weren't around
because you hated that
I was playing tennis.
No, I hated not
being what you needed.
Things just kept escalating.
The things you said to
one another were cruel.
I kept hoping one of
you would stop, but you,
you just kept pushing and
pushing on each other.
Yeah, it got ugly.
I was rude, argumentative,
I admit that.
Yeah, you were.
You weren't exactly delicate.
Thank you.
It went too far.
All these years without talking,
I'm sorry son.
Yeah, I'm sorry too.
When Taylor called, she
said that you wanted us here.
She said she knew you missed us,
but you didn't know
how to reach out.
That you thought
it was too late.
But it could never be too late.
You're our son.
Yeah, that's exactly what
Taylor said you would say.
I like her.
I have to talk to her
before our match tonight.
Could we maybe
continue this later?
Of course.
I guess I'll see
you in the stands.
We'll be there.
Thanks.
That a boy.
()
He's not answering.
I didn't expect him to,
I mean I went behind his back,
he trusted me,
the only person he trusted.
He wouldn't stand you up.
I wouldn't blame him if he did.
So that's it, you're
just gonna give up
on relaunching your career?
No.
This whole experience made me
realize how bad I want this.
I'm gonna relaunch my
career with or without him.
This isn't how my story ends.
That's my girl.
All right, no
more time to waste,
I gotta let them
know he's not coming.
What a story.
In a last minute
first time team up,
William Campbell
and Taylor Morrison
have made it to the finals
of today's Georgia
Sun Tournament.
A small tournament, but
with big consequences.
Campbell and Morrison
will need to get the win
to get ranked.
That's right and they're
going to need that ranking
to join more high profile
events in the future.
But it won't be easy
because in this final matchup,
Natalia Kolar and Jack Roberts
have history on their side.
Entering court,
Taylor Morrison and
William Campbell.
No sign of William Campbell,
not a great way to start.
You came back.
I was being a jerk.
I'm on a bit of an
apology tour this morning.
Well, thanks for
stopping in my town,
but you were right to be angry
and that I was afraid
to leave my dad.
Well, that seems
impossible, I'm never right.
Even people with bad
hair get lucky sometimes.
You ready to finish
what we started?
Yeah.
Looks like things
are back on track.
What would you say Taylor
and William need to do today
to get the win?
They're going to need to
keep that momentum going.
Their chemistry on
the court is clear
and now they've had a chance
to see Roberts and Kolar play
so they know their
strengths and weaknesses.
They're going to
need to serve well
and get plenty of
returns back in play.
Well, don't mess up in front
of your family and friends.
Thanks, no pressure.
You know what they say
about pressure, Taylor?
It makes diamonds.
Let's both go out there
and make diamonds.
Please stop talking.
Okay.
What do you think we
should eat after this?
Excuse me?
I'm starving.
Well, we have to focus.
Like chicken though, no, steak.
You like steak?
Of course I like steak,
but we have a match to play.
You like steak too?
See that's amazing,
there's so much I
don't know about you.
I could say the same for you.
Tell me something new then.
I look weird in hats.
Okay, can we play the game now?
An interesting fact.
Now entering
Natalia Kolar and Jack Roberts.
Here we go.
Kolar and Roberts
to serve, first set.
Four, two, 15, love.
Let's just take a minute, relax.
If you're gonna
bring up hummingbirds-
No, no, no, let's just
pretend like we're strategizing.
It drives Kolar crazy.
All right, how was
lunch with your parents?
It was good.
They weirdly might like
you more than they like me.
Yeah, that tracks.
Hmm.
You and I worked
pretty hard to get here.
What do you say we just
appreciate the moment?
You're getting soft.
You appreciate the
moment, I'm here to win.
Okay, that's my partner.
Warning, time violation.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
If you're a first time viewer,
you should know this is how
tennis was meant to be played,
just spectacular.
No doubt about it, these
four have come to play.
This is high quality tennis.
Can you feel the heat
Feel the heat
Can you feel the fever
Climbing higher and higher
Can you feel the heat
Folks, this one has turned
into a real nail biter.
The match is tied,
one set all and six, six
here in the final set.
So we're into a tie breaker.
First tea to seven wins
and it's six, four,
Campbell and Morrison.
With William Campbell
serving for the championship,
it's match point.
Can you feel the heat
Can you feel,
can you feel it
Can you feel the heat
Can you feel,
can you feel it
Can you feel the heat
I got it, I got it.
Taylor, hey, what happened?
I hurt my ankle.
Are you okay?
I don't think so.
Can you get up?
Yeah, yeah.
Good.
Oh, they're signaling
for a medical timeout.
I don't know, this
match may be over.
Nothing is broken, but you
have a high ankle sprain.
It's not worth risking
your ankle over one match.
Ashley's right.
Look at everything
we've accomplished,
I already feel like a winner.
We should just take
a medical withdrawal.
It's a sprain
so your ankle will hurt
if you put weight on it.
Could that cause
any lasting damage?
I don't believe it will,
but I can't guarantee it.
I'll give you a minute.
A couple things
to watch out for.
Taylor, I don't think
you should risk it.
We've worked so hard.
Okay, well it's your call,
I'm fine either way, but
you're what's important.
I don't know what to do.
What would mom say if I quit?
She'd be so proud of
you she could burst.
She'd be disappointed if
I didn't play through it.
Your mom always trusted
you and your instincts
on and off the court.
Now I think it's time for
you to trust yourself.
A champion doesn't give
up and doesn't give in.
The match will
resume, one set all.
Roberts is gonna expect
me to guard the alley.
Just hit it straight
down the teeth,
I'll return down the middle
and then I'll be there waiting.
It's a big move, you
sure you can make it?
You trust me right?
100%.
Then let's do it.
Second match point,
William Campbell to serve.
It's Campbell and Morrison,
six, six in the final set and
six, five in this tiebreaker.
Let's go, guys,
shake it off, let's go.
Let's go.
Keep on going
I can't afford
to look back now
Oh, oh, oh
Game, set and match,
Morrison and Campbell.
That's it, what a gutsy move.
Just like that, Taylor
Morrison and William Campbell
are your new Georgia Sun
Mixed Doubles Champions.
This is gonna change everything.
No, not everything.
You already changed me.
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
