Plot summary
In September 2022, after 24 years on the professional tour, a tennis player records a video announcing his retirement, and the news reaches the public the next day. That footage was intended for his family rather than for release, and it shows his wife, his children and the people closest to him. The film follows the last twelve days of his career, which end at the Laver Cup in London. He plays there for Team Europe in a doubles match beside his greatest rival, on a team that also includes others he met across his career. Archive material and interviews with former players were added to turn the home video into a feature.
