tennis slash - Nearly Over & Since Head Met Racket...
Okay, so I have two of sly's requests here. Two more that are in progress, plus zimena's, and a request from myself :) Oh yeah, and the end of FMPC.
Title: Nearly Over
Author: Kris S.
Fandom: Tennis RPS
Pairing: Juan Carlos Ferrero/Carlos Moya
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: This did not happen.
Summary: There had been good times in Barcelona.
Author’s Note: 110 words. Request from slyreflection, event: 2001 Barcelona. I threw in the current, as in Juanqui’s impending retirement.
Juan Carlos wishes it wasn’t forced like this. Carlos is dealing with injury, and neither wants to deal with what’s lingering there in the room.
He could understand why Carlos won’t go there. Ever since he said it himself, it’s an added burden. Maybe he’s not dealing with everything in the rockstar way of Marat but it’s still an end to the tour.
It seems like just yesterday they played for the title in Barcelona. Before it became a tournament dominated by the kid Carlos mentored, the city was their place. They’d meet there during the offseason, able to revel in positive memories.
It doesn’t work that way any longer.
Title: Since Head Met Racket…
Author: Kris S.
Fandom: Tennis RPS
Pairing: Mikhail Youzhny/Nikolay Davydenko

Summary: Mischa’s career has fallen off and everyone else is enjoying the joke.
Author’s Note: 200 words. Request from slyreflection, event: Davis Cup.
It’s been that kind of year.
He doesn’t know what happened but after bashing his head with a racket made him a YouTube sensation, his game turned into a joke as well.
Maybe it’s the fact that he’s making a conscious effort to stay calm. To not beat himself up over the little things anymore. Except since his game has fallen, it means that the big things are building up.
He lets the other guys get their shots in at him, especially his fellow Davis Cup members. It’s just a joke but he wishes it could be a different way.
He has heard something from it seems every Russian player. Even from former players who don’t give a damn about tennis anymore. Yes, it’s safe to say when Yevgeny Kafelnikov gets involved, in the middle of his golf tournaments, the problems have gotten serious.
With one exception. The current top player in Russia has yet to say a word. Okay so some of it is that the guy has enough distractions in his Top 10 life to not be concerned about trivial matters such as this.
Yet he wants Nikolay to care and he doesn’t know how to accomplish that.
