Johann 'Yoyo' Arnaldo is an ace tennis player who had announced his retirement from the game. Think Federer or Nadal.
This is good news for players such as Hunter McGrath who were repeatedly beaten by him.
Now Yoyo has delayed his retirement and Hunter is not happy. Nor is his father Cliff McGrath (Blair Underwood.) An ex tennis player who coaches Hunter.
His son's form has been off since his mother died and his sponsorship deals are at risk.
So Cliff applies some nitrogen ointment on Yoyo's towels, hoping to hurt his game. Only Yoyo dies on the tennis court.
It reacted badly with some other medication that he was taking.
Elsbeth becomes intrigued by some comments Cliff made on television. Now Cliff has Elsbeth contend with but also a ball girl who saw what he did with Yoyo's towels.
The case was pretty straightforward, Cliff just does not know hot to deal with Elsbeth, despite him trying to blame the Russians. The ball girl also becomes an irritant.
More interesting is Captain Wagner realising that Elsbeth has been sent to target him.

- GoofsIn the final match, Hunter wins the toss and decides to receive the 1st serve. When he delays the start of the game, the umpire penalises him 2 points, however, he calls 'love-15' and then 'love-30', which means he's actually given the points to Hunter as he is the receiver.
- Quotes
Elsbeth Tascioni: Try asking her whether she gave Yoyo *any* drugs.
Detective Bobby Smullen: Lady, she just said that she didn't.
Elsbeth Tascioni: Oh, I hate to disagree, but I will. What she said was, "I didn't give him anything that would *kill* him." Do you see the difference?
Detective Bobby Smullen: This is why people don't like lawyers.
Elsbeth Tascioni: Really? I thought it was the frivolous lawsuits and overbilling.
