In this powerful novel about ambition and success, a legendary athlete attempts a comeback at an age when the world considers her past her prime. Carolina Soto is fiercely determined to be the greatest professional tennis player ever. By her retirement in 1989 at thirty-one, she has shattered records and claimed twenty Slam titles, believing she is entitled to her victories, thanks to her father's relentless training since childhood. However, her world is shaken when Nicki Chan ties her record six years later, prompting Carrie to come out of retirement at thirty-seven to defend her title. Despite the media's doubts about her age and her body’s declining agility, Carrie is resolute. She must confront the challenge of trusting her father as her coach again after past betrayals, and face the fans who have labeled her the cold "Battle Axe." Undeterred, Carrie is determined to return for one final season to prove she is the all-time champion. With her destiny on the line, she fights to reclaim her legacy, embodying the spirit that if you know you are meant to be the best, you have the right to keep fighting for it.
