 p>\n<p>Recently-turned-pro tennis player Austin Hardy has been out since h
 igh school and it&rsquo\;s never been a big deal. That is\, until he becom
 es the first openly gay man to compete in a Grand Slam tournament. Suddenl
 y\, being gay is a huge deal\, with headlines to prove it.</p>\n<p>Unprepa
 red for this new spotlight\, Austin&rsquo\;s anxiety disorder hits a break
 ing point\, and he trips and falls at practice. Right next to the very att
 ractive\, very talented\, and probably straight Diego Cruz\, ranked second
  in the world.</p>\n<p>The two professional rivals start a friendship off 
 the court. But between their flirty banter\, mixed signals\, and looming s
 howdown\, Austin is thrown further off his game by Diego.</p>\n<p>With the
  eyes of the world on Austin\, the weight of history on his shoulders\, an
 d Diego across the net\, he must decide whether love means nothing or if i
 t means everything as he battles for the trophy during an electric two wee
 ks at the US Open.</p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong></p>\n<p><stro
