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?

Jannik and Sofia share a deep bond, born among the mountains of Sesto and nurtured through hugs and promises that once felt unbreakable. But when life pulls them in opposite directions, their connection is put to the test. As Jannik rises under the spotlight and Sofia faces the challenges of her new reality, unspoken feelings and unresolved emotions grow like knots inside them. Caught between misunderstandings, doubts, and difficult choices, they both search for a balance that feels increasingly out of reach. A series of unexpected events will force them to confront everything they've tried to bury. But will the love they share-and the bond that's tied them together since childhood-be enough to overcome distance, pressure, and hardship? A story of growth, resilience, and second chances, where the heart fights to triumph over reality. Will Jannik and Sofia find their way back to their dreams... and to each other?

Ariana Alcaraz has spent her entire life in the shadow of her twin brother, Carlos-the golden boy of tennis. But at this year's US Open, she's not just here to win matches. She's here to prove she belongs. To the world. To herself. And maybe... to one very distracting Italian across the net. Jannik Sinner is Carlos's fiercest rival and still a good friend, depending on the day. But when it comes to Ariana, lines blur and rules bend. He teases, he flirts-but it's all harmless... right? Carlos doesn't think so. And he's not about to let his friend break his sister's heart-or ruin their bond on and off the court. But Ariana isn't a little sister anymore. She's got a killer backhand, a championship mindset, and a heart that just might risk everything-even if it means love could be the hardest match of all. Started: 18.7.25 Finished: 28.7.25 Fiction!
