James stepped back to his baseline.
Across the net, Scott took a deep breath.
Both were focused on each other.
BOOM!
The ball exploded off James's racket and flew straight for Scott's backhand.
Scott didn't blink.
He anticipated the brutal RPMs, lunged, and fired it back with a heavy, two-handed return. James countered instantly as his left arm moved in an arc that sent the ball rocketing for the opposite baseline.
What followed was, well… not easy to follow.
The two men tore across the grass, striking the ball as far as possible from their opponent. But their skills were on a completely different level. They threw themselves into the match, flipping, rolling, and sliding across the turf just to get their rackets under the ball on time.
PA! PA! PA!
The ball kept flying around the court at top speeds.
You would think they were playing with a sniper bullet and not a tennis ball.
It left the entire country club breathless.
