Ana Taylor believes in data and AI.
She is a twenty-three old brilliant young AI scientist who sees the world in patterns, probabilities, outcomes and predictions. So when Alex Sanders, the twenty-five-year-old World No. 1 tennis player with Grand Slam victories, a devastating smile, and a season mysteriously going off the rails hires her to use data and AI to fix his game, Ana knows exactly what she's dealing with.
At least, she thinks she does.
Because Alex doesn't fit neatly into her data models.
Their unlikely partnership begins with algorithms, match footage, and arguments. But somewhere between analysing his opponents and trying not to notice the man behind the headlines, the outcomes start becoming dangerously personal.
Then life takes them in different directions.
Five years later, Alex is no longer the untouchable champion he once was. Injuries have taken their toll on his body and mind, his ranking has slipped, and retirement is starting to look less like a possibility and more like an inevitability.
Until Ana comes back into his life.
Now twenty-eight and at the top of her own field, she may be the one person who can help Alex reinvent his game - and give him a career beyond the limits of his body. Working together again should be simple.
It isn't.
Because the chemistry is still there. So are the things they never said to each other.
As Ana teaches Alex that winning isn't always about hitting harder, she begins to wonder if the same might be true of love.
After all, you can analyse the past. You can model the future. But some things simply refuse to be predicted.
