The Last Match
by Anna ZieglerREGIONAL PREMIERE. It's the semifinals of the U.S. Open. Sergei Sergeyev, an up-and-coming Russian phenom, and Tim Porter, a great American superstar in the twilight of his career, go head-to-head under the lights of the tennis court.
Journey into the minds of these two extraordinary players as they consider the shots they didn't take, the sacrifices they made for success, and the legacy they may leave behind. By match-point, much more has been won and lost than a game of tennis.
