Description
When Tony Hawks heard the names of eleven Moldovan footballers in his newspaper, he was intrigued by their lack of tennis credentials. This sparked an eccentric wager that would take him to the little-known Eastern European state of Moldova.
In a journey that had little to do with tennis or football, Tony found himself entangled in the Moldovan underworld, forming unexpected bonds with his host family and facing numerous challenges along the way. From power shortages to near kidnap, this adventure is as much about human connection as it is about the game of tennis.
Follow Tony's story as he navigates a complex web of relationships and cultural differences, ultimately leading to an exciting conclusion in Nazareth. A hilarious and often moving tale of one man's quest to track down his opponents on the tennis court.
