"51 to 50 for Lyla!" The hostess announced, trying to sound excited…
But it was hard to still feel excited about any points scored, as the game had been dragging on for far too long. If the audience thought that the second game in the match between Felix and Julien had been long and intense, then they changed their minds now. What was currently happening was on another level, so much so that it couldn't even be compared. Each point either side had scored had been preceded by a very long exchange, when Felix and Lyla were smashing the ball with their paddles, sending it back and forth at a high speed…
And the number of serves in the game had just surpassed one hundred.
At this point, the audience wasn't so much interested in who would win, but rather the question that they had in their minds was: 'When will it finally end?'
