Dawn breaks over the human snakes of people waiting.
Waiting and waiting to catch a glimpse of world-class athletes
Hearts beat faster and faster just like a run-away train
The intensity is growing in the air.
Balls go whooshing, whirling, whipping across the net
The athletes, light on their feet, smash them back over the net
Some balls stay in and others go out.
In the end, one will be champion.
