Second Serve (1986)
Het waargebeurde verhaal van Richard Raskind: afgestudeerd aan Yale, marineofficier, briljant chirurg en tenniskampioen. Hij hield jaren lang perfect verborgen dat hij zich eigenlijk voelde als een vrouw in een mannenlichaam. In 1975 neemt hij dan eindelijk de beslissing om de operatie te ondergaan om van geslacht te veranderen. Hij noemt zich vanaf dat moment Renee Richards. Wanneer zij echter als vrouwelijke tennisspeler professioneel wil gaan tennissen, gaat de U.S. Tennis Association dwarsliggen. Een nieuwe strijd begint...
