"Delaney you know you're a very hard person to get in contact with" Tasha, my manager spoke to me through the phone

"I've been busy" I replied

"Yes, I know, wining" Tasha said, a smile lacing her words "my phone has been ringing off the hook Delaney"

"Finally giving you something to do after all these years then?" I said with a smile

"Exactly honey. Anyway, I've multiple things to discuss with you"

"Quickly though, okay Tasha, I need to sleep for the match tomorrow"

"Of course" Tasha replied "first thing. I've had an offer from Nike. They're doing this whole, greatness in sports campaign thing, posters are going to be absolutely everywhere and they want you to be the face of tennis for it"

"But I've already done so much of this stuff with Nike"

"I'm aware, however this won't be your own brand of shoes , it will simply be a campaign with posters and then you wear some of their clothes over the next few months during your matches"

"Is the money good"

"Filthy good" she laughed "like you wouldn't believe it"

"So I just sit for some posters and wear their clothes during the next three tournaments?"

"Darling you don't even need to sit for a photoshoot. They're going to use some of your photos from you playing, old ones. All you have to do it agree, and wear they're clothes. They'll pick some of your famous quotes, slap them on some posters. You'll approve them and boom, your face is everywhere and your a new level of wealthy"

"Sounds good" I said "but" I trailed off

"Delaney something like this would have been planned months in advance, you getting asked to do this, and your future results will have no impact on this at all"

"That's great, thanks"

"Okay, next order of business" she trialed off as she spoke

"Oh god, what?"

"It's from Netflix..."

"No" I replied instantly, already used to the constant offers of tv shows I received monthly from every company known to man.

"This one's different"

"They're all different Tasha, I've had ever offer thrown at me and Daniel by now. We'll do another season of our show when we're ready, that's it"

"Okay listen to me now. It's from Netflix. I'm sure you're well aware of their drive to survive which follows your brothers whole race car thingy"

"Yes"

"Well" she said, drawing out her words as she did "they want to make a version of it, but following tennis..... and they want the first season.... to follow only you and Nicki for the season"

"For fucks sake" I mumbled

"Yeah" Tasha mumbled as well "however, they know how much you'd hate this, and they understand you and all. However they know there's a fortune to be made here, people worldwide haven't been this interested in sports in forever. You and Nicki's rivalry is something for the history books"
