Why this must be read:
Tennis AU! Seriously, I was frantically refreshing the kinkmeme every day when this was being posted last year, and I don't even like tennis all that much! It is a spectacularly well-written story, and even though the characters are all tennis players, they still have the same personalities from the show. So good. Check out the sequels, too.

Author's Summary: John and Sherlock are professional tennis players and it’s Wimbledon. One is a broken almost was at the end of his career, the other an arrogant rising star tipped for greatness. It should have been a straightforward tournament. It really should have been. How were they to know that a chance encounter would change everything?

wow, what an epic! Even with only a passing knowledge of tennis, I found this a fascinating look inside a
world I know nothing about - well worth reading. Great rec!

I'm not a tennis fan either so I might not have tried this without your rec. So glad I did :-)
