Summary
After a humiliating loss at his home tournament, Charles Leclerc has a thing or two to settle with Max Verstappen, the number one player in the world. Though they had always played against each other, from one moment to the next, their peaceful encounters turned into downright war.
Now, Roland-Garros is underway, and under the insurmountable Parisian heat, Leclerc does his very best to snatch the second Grand Slam of the year, and finally take the spot as the world's number one.
☆☆☆
In tennis, there is no middle ground. You either walk out of a tournament with the title, or you lost. Max Verstappen knows that very well, having that thought drilled into his brain by his coach and father, from a very young age.
Every court he enters, he does so with the utmost intention of winning. Usually, he does so without any problems. In walks Charles Leclerc, golden boy, adored by the crowds, playing in a way Verstappen had never seen before. Graceful in every moment, in and out of the courts, Max can't help the urge to make Leclerc's façade fall.
Except he should be focused on the win and keeping his name as the world's very best, and not Leclerc's picture-perfect smile.
