Trivia

Getting the actors to play professional-looking tennis proved much more difficult than anticipated. Eventually, it was decided to film them performing the strokes and digitally add the ball afterwards.

Goofs

In the final match sequence, in the last games of the last set, the shirt Jake Hammond is wearing shows evident folding marks, like he just wore it minutes ago.

Share this

When Lizzie spots the tennis courts that Peter learned on, and runs down the stairs, the sun is getting close to setting, but it is clearly still light out. By the time that Lizzie gets to the bottom of the stairs, it is pitch black in the sky.

Share this

After the final match, the shot where Jake is sitting down is mirrored. The Nike logo is reversed and the blue NSW Rugby League jersey in the background has its patches on the wrong sides.
