The Tennis Master

The Tennis Master is an adult visual novel about a disgraced former tennis champion hired by the mysterious businessman Gavril to coach his daughter, Sofia. The protagonist takes the job for financial reasons, despite misgivings, and becomes entangled in shady dealings involving Gavril and his family. As the story unfolds, the former champion searches for a way forward and questions their identity and whether they want power, love or respect. You can choose the protagonist’s name, and your choices determine which of three endings you reach.

Gavril’s family and household

Gavril is a rich, authoritarian and arrogant businessman who relies on the strength and submission of those around him. His power is destined to fall because of his own arrogance. His wife, Anya, is a controversial woman who struggles with herself, fears her future and hides her intimidation. His sister, Mischa, is confident, cunning and vindictive, and knows what she wants.

Sofia, Gavril and Anya’s only daughter, is intelligent and wants a future that will make her happy. The unstable situation at the villa leaves her afraid for her life and for her friend Lenina. A servant, Lenina is mistreated by Anya and, like Sofia, is searching for a way out; she is humble, submissive, selfless and kind. Irina, Gavril’s right-hand woman, is a strong fighter who values honour and the chain of command, but hides a secret that conflicts with her ideals.
