Second Serve is a charming story told with humor and dignity. It spans the decades from the nineteen fifties until the nineteen ninety's. The journey begins with Old Man Beck and his quest to win the U.S. Open. Over the years his path leads him to Jesse Kirkpatrick a former tennis prodigy from Brooklyn N.Y. Together they try to overcome physical limitations and the underhanded tactics of a former coach. Are people entitled to a second chance? Like a tennis player who misses their first serve they are awarded a second serve.
