In the 1990s Patricia Lukastic was the great hope of Argentine tennis: an odd girl with a superb backhand who climbed from local tournaments to the Australian Open and the top of the rankings, facing stars like Monica Seles and Lindsay Davenport. Then, after retiring at twenty-one, she disappeared. Her father Elián, a lover of tennis and chess who has devoted himself to her since her mother walked out, trains her to become number one. Their life of hotels, courts and travel is public yet lonely, a world of two, and the closeness turns stifling, so Luka invents games and mental tactics to survive, relying on her fierce will to win.
