Annie and the Magic Tennis Racket: Federer’s First Wimbledon Title

Annie sat on the worn bench at her local tennis court, her fingers tracing the smooth grip of an old wooden racket she had found wedged behind the clubhouse. It looked ancient, but something about it felt special. As she gave the strings a curious pluck, a strange tingling sensation ran up her arm. The air around her shimmered, and suddenly, the world began to spin.

When the dizziness settled, Annie found herself standing on an immaculate grass court, the bright sun casting long shadows across the neatly painted white lines. She gasped as she looked up and saw the packed stands of Centre Court at Wimbledon. A giant scoreboard loomed in the distance: Wimbledon Final 2003 – Federer vs. Philippoussis.
