Synopsis
First Racket (2026) is a Russian sports drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Yevgeny Korchagin. Danila Kozlovsky and Polina Gukhman lead. Katya is seventeen, talented, and completely shut out of official tennis — no family money, no connections, no one willing to fight for her place in the sport.
Her survival method: she turns up at private Moscow courts posing as a beginner, then dismantles wealthy amateurs for cash. Former professional Igor Strelnikov (Kozlovsky) witnesses one of these matches and recognises something he stopped looking for years ago. He's been grinding through a coaching career he no longer believes in. She's been grinding to stay in the game at all.
A sports drama that doesn't pretend the system is fair — and is more compelling for it. Stream First Racket (2026) online on iFILM.
