Luisa has spent her whole life chasing perfection on the tennis court, driven, disciplined, and determined to prove she belongs. But in the spotlight of international tournaments, one name always looms above hers: Alvaro, the charismatic prodigy she grew up alongside, who once bullied her and cast a shadow she has never escaped. Now, as she prepares for Roland Garros, the pressure mounts. The press demands to know who she will choose as her mixed doubles partner, fans clamor for her to team up with Alvaro, and memories of a stolen childhood resurface. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Paris and the high-stakes world of professional tennis, this is a story about ambition, rivalry, love, and the courage it takes to step out of someone else's shadow and find your own place in the sun.

"Game Set Match" is a romance set on the biggest tennis stages in the world. When rising star Carlos Alcaraz and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu keep crossing paths on the tour, what begins as a simple recognition between two players quickly turns into something neither expected: late-night conversations, unspoken glances, and the kind of tension that's impossible to hide on or off the court. But under the spotlight of cameras, fans, and rivalries, every word, every move, and every rumor feels magnified. Will they manage to focus on their game-or risk everything for what's happening beyond the net?

Gracie Campbell has spent her life under a microscope. Fashion's golden girl, perfectly sculpted for the cameras, adored by millions-yet utterly hollow behind the flawless smile. The press never stops whispering, inventing lovers for every photo, dissecting every glance, every breath. Jannik Sinner knows that same suffocating spotlight. Tennis's brightest star, world number one, trapped in the endless cycle of speculation and rumor. Fame offers no privacy-only pressure, only noise. When the chaos threatens to swallow them both, their managers broker a solution: pretend. A fabricated romance to quiet the storm. It's temporary. It's controlled. It's not real. At least, that's what they tell themselves. But there's nothing controlled about the fire that sparks every time their paths collide. A reluctant hand on her waist. His breath warm against her ear. Long nights in shared hotel rooms where walls-both physical and emotional-start to crack. Sharp words laced with sarcasm give way to stolen glances neither of them wants to admit mean anything at all. And then, one night, a broken elevator, a kiss that was never supposed to happen... and suddenly the lie feels far too close to the truth. Gracie swore she'd never let anyone in. Jannik promised tennis would always come first. But as they're forced deeper into a world of staged intimacy and whispered denials, they're left with one impossible question- When pretending feels this real... how do you know where the act ends?

Lola, Carlos and a Nike trolley, that makes their paths cross.

She plays by the rules. He plays with fire. Together, they might just change the game. Rising tennis star Madison Federer has spent her life chasing perfection-on the court and off, trying to get out of her Father's shadow. Focused, disciplined, and determined to win her second Grand Slam, there's no room for distractions. Especially not Ben Shelton, the electrifying American powerhouse known as much for his charm as his killer serve. When they're unexpectedly paired for mixed doubles at the 2025 Australian Open, sparks fly-both in competition and in chemistry. As they battle rivals and media frenzy, Madison finds herself torn between the career she's built and the connection she never saw coming. Is love just another risky play-or could it be the ace she never knew she needed? Ben Shelton x OC

In a world where every point can decide a career and perfection is a daily demand, even the smallest distraction can be disastrous. Elena - composed, distant, and painfully professional - knows this better than anyone. Working behind the scenes as part of the medical team for top tennis players, she's learned how to keep emotions in check. Always in the background. Never too close. Rules that are never meant to be broken. Until they are. Carlos Alcaraz - young, unpredictable, electric. Known not just for his game, but for a presence that's impossible to ignore. Even for her. On the surface, they have nothing in common - except the growing proximity that no one is supposed to notice. Too often. Too intense. It starts with fleeting moments. Lingering glances between points, the brush of a hand during a taped wrist, conversations that last longer than they should in the hallway after lights-out. Then a few drinks, a harmless game, and a door that closes behind them. Set against the backdrop of one of the world's biggest tournaments - Wimbledon - this is a story of two people who never planned to fall into each other's orbit. It's not quite love. Not yet. It's tension, raw and electric. It's temptation. And it's the slow realization that some things, once started, are impossible to control. But the closer they get, the harder it is to tell the game from the truth. And when everything starts to spiral like an unforced error under pressure, someone will have to risk something greater than a match. Can you keep your distance when your body remembers every touch? Can you ignore what should've never happened - but did, in a locked room, under cover of night, with someone breathing your name? Can you stay detached when one look is all it takes to lose yourself?

Maria Alessi, the fiery and unpredictable US Open defending champion, who hasn't won a single event since. Jannik Sinner, the calm, unmovable world #1, also looking to defend his trophy in Flushing Meadows. Pairing them up in doubles seems like the last thing anyone would need. Polar opposites, both on and off the court. But will they crash and burn, or turn out to be the perfect match?

Title: Beyond the Baseline 👫 Pairing: Carlos Alcaraz × OC (Anora Sokolova-Vestergaard) 🎾 Genre: Romance | Sports | Slow Burn | Anora Sokolova-Vestergaard knows life on the tour: packed arenas, tough matches, cold press conferences - and the constant battle with her own thoughts.

Between tournaments, dreams, and deepening intimacy, the questions arise: What if closeness takes more energy than any tiebreaker? And: Can you win without losing?

She loses her footing, he loses his cool. When French rising star Jade Moreau lands a surprise media shoot with world-ranked No. 1 Jannik Sinner at the 2025 Australian Open, she expects awkward small talk and a few stiff poses-not a charming, quietly intense Italian with a smile that lingers long after the cameras stop flashing. As the tournament heats up, so does the tension between them-on and off the court. Between practice sessions, late-night gym encounters, and stolen glances across the player lounge, Jade finds herself drawn into a game she never expected to play: falling for someone in the spotlight.
