*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***Widower Jerry McDonald is a single father whose only social outlet is playing tennis with his friend Miles. He reluctantly agrees to enter a doubles tournament, even though their chances of victory are about equal to the likelihood of finding true love again. But when he meets Sam at work, will she change the game?The future looks bleak for single-parent Jerry McDonald, who is struggling after the loss of his wife. Tennis has become his only semi-social outlet, with his eccentric best friend, Miles, who's working through anger management with the help of his life coach (Judd Nelson).Reluctantly, Jerry caves to Miles' pressure to play in a local tournament that could earn them a once-in-a-lifetime slot in an exhibition match at a prestigious national tournament, The Open. But they'll have to meet the infamous Gollant Brothers (Eric Roberts and John Schneider) who haven't lost club champions status for a decade. Let the training begin.Tyler, Jerry's precocious 10-year-old daughter, has faithfully accepted that her mom has gone to heaven, but longs to see Dad happy again. For Jerry, the thought of finding love is as foreign as winning the tournament, until Tyler asks the looming question, Do you think you'll ever get married again? Encouraged to step out with courage, Jerry gets the guts to talk with Sam, a cute co-worker and new friend. Tyler loves her, and life seems to be looking up for Jerry.Life is full of twists and turns, and some are hard to overcome. A second serve is a precious gift, and a double fault can be tragic. Road to the Open is a journey to live again, to love again. For movie goers, it's a classic underdog story that is sure to generate smiles and cheers.
