Peter Colt is a British professional tennis player once ranked 11th of the world who is now ranked 119th. Peter is 31 and he has decided to retire after the last tournament, Wimbledon. He actually has already got a job as a coach at a club.
The championship begins so he goes to the hotel. The receptionist gives him the wrong key and he meets Lizzie Bradbury by chance in what was supposed to be his room. She is American and she seems to be a great promise in tennis; she's supposed to win Wimbledon. Peter finally gets another room. From a long time ago, he was used to lose most of matches, he starts to win after meeting Lizzie, though. Peter invites her to fish and chips in her room and they start falling in love. However, there's someone who deosn't like it, Lizzie's Father. He just wants her to focus on the game and not to get the head on Peter or any other thing.
One day, they are in a party when the paparazzies start taking photos on them so they decide to go away. They go to an apartment from Peter in his native town. They go running along the promenade, have a lot of fun and enjoy these days until Lizzie's father arrives and she has to come back London.
