Break Point

Propelled by their fathers’ desire to keep the Indian flag flying high, two little boys dive deep into the world of tennis. They forge a bond at the junior Wimbledon, where Leander allows Mahesh to stay in his room.

Lee-Hesh conquers tennis courts across the world as their partnership takes off from the word go. Amidst incessant success on the court, the duo’s off-court relationship is tested when Mahesh brings on Leander’s former coach, Rico.

After coming within touching distance of the 1999 Australian Open, Lee-Hesh are upbeat about winning the year's French Open. But to win their first Grand Slam together, they have to overcome more than just the slippery surface of Parisian clay courts.

After winning the French Open, Lee-Hesh captures the nation's imagination, and the only thing left is to win the Wimbledon. But as the two get ready for their life’s biggest tournament, their relationship hits an all-time low.

As their friendship fades, the magic of the duo disappears. Their partnership is truly tested at the last tournament of the year in Hartford. After losing the final, Leander suggests that they give Mahesh’s coach, Rico, a break.

Leander and Mahesh come together for the 2000 Sydney Olympics but split again in 2001 after a series of losses. Leander is diagnosed with a tumour in the brain, but fights back and makes it for the 2004 Athens Olympics.

After their loss at the 2006 Doha Asian Games, Leander questions Mahesh's fitness. Despite their differences, the President of AITA signs them on for the next tournament.
