Justine had reached the semi-finals of the French Open as a teenager with Glenn at her side, but shortly afterward suffered a devastating injury which resulted in a shattered wrist and the end of her professional career.

The official synopsis continues: "Five years on, now aged 22, Justine is a physiotherapist at her old tennis academy, Longwood, alongside her former physio. It seems like she is finally healed, both physically and psychologically, from her humiliating downfall on the global stage.
