Carrie Soto, a formidable figure driven by an unyielding determination to achieve victory regardless of the consequences, emerges as an unparalleled force in the realm of tennis upon her retirement. Her legacy boasts an unparalleled collection of twenty Grand Slam titles, an achievement she staunchly believes she rightfully earned. Enduring significant personal sacrifices, she honed her skills under the guidance of her father, Javier, a former champion who began coaching her at the tender age of two.
However, six years post-retirement, Carrie finds herself witnessing the shattering of her records at the 1994 US Open, usurped by the exceptional player, Nicki Chan.
At the age of thirty-seven, Carrie undertakes a monumental decision—to return from retirement and seek to reclaim her coveted records. Under the tutelage of her father, she commits to a final year in the sport, despite the media's lack of favor toward her and the physical limitations she faces due to age. This journey also demands her to reconcile with Bowe Huntley, a figure from her past with whom she shares a complex history. Both driven by their own need for vindication before bidding adieu to the game forever, they join forces.
Despite the challenges and criticisms, Carrie Soto embarks on a remarkable comeback for one last, epic season. Taylor Jenkins Reid presents a gripping and emotionally charged narrative, delving into Carrie's vulnerability and resilience in her most unforgettable tale yet.
