tennis slash - Long Way Down, Home Sweet Home, So Hollywood
I have no idea why I got into writing drabbles as I've never done it before and these aren't for a challenge. They are just segments to get people interested in the new season.
Title: Long Way Down
Author: Kris S.
Fandom: Tennis RPS
Pairing: Roger Federer/Andy Roddick

Rating: PG-13
Summary: It goes downhill from here - the start of the 2009 season.
Author's Notes: Just a drabble. Exactly 100 words.
It goes downhill from here.
It's not likely that Roger will return to invincibility but even last year was better than your best. You're the same age as him but it would take years for Roger to fall to the point where you are right now.
You watch Roger sleep and know he's plotting. Maybe the goals for the upcoming season are lower but they're still loftier than yours. You want to relate to his struggles but they seem to be ones you had in a different life, not merely five years ago.
Your fall is down a steeper slope.
Title: Home Sweet Home

Fandom: Tennis RPS
Pairing: Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic

Summary: The newest stop on the ATP tour: Serbia.
Author's Note: Another drabble.
Whenever he talks about home, it's with a sense of pride. Pride that he was able to survive the war. Thankful that he's been able to succeed beyond his wildest dreams.
He's also very close to his family. I've spent many evenings at the dinner table with that rather boisterous bunch. I imagine it's no different a feeling as to when he's around Uncle Toni and other friends and loved ones.
The difference is that I get to stop by home along the tour. He had to take a detour to enjoy the comforts of home beyond family.
Until now.
Title: So Hollywood

Author's Note: One more drabble, related to the news about Andy getting an agent.
"So you're getting a Hollywood agent?" Richie chuckles upon reading that news blurb.
Andy nods absently while paying attention to the cooking segment on TV. "Time to broaden the market."
"Was it your fitness coach who said that? Or the nutritionist?"
"Did she say cinnamon? That doesn't make any sense," Andy mutters, then shakes his head. "It sounds like fun to have my face on billboards in America.”
"Who really wants to see your face on billboards?"
"There's no requirement as to how beautiful one needs to be to land an advert. We can't all be as pretty as you."
