CHALLENGERS

Liam Gallagher x Reader x Damon Albarn

a short concept

ICARUS FALLS!

Twenty-eight year old tennis golden boy, Damon Albarn falls through the ranks as he faces a loss against newcomer Albert Johnson. Many analysists claim that this is the beginning of the end for Albarn as his career slowly begins to take a nosedive from his peak two years ago at Wimbledon. Having not had a win in the entire season, Albarn is faced with many disappointed fans — as well as a disappointed wife.

UNHAPPY WIFE, UNHAPPY LIFE; THE COURT CATCHES STRIFE

Former tennis star The Nightmare makes an appearance at her husband — Damon Albarn’s match with Albert Johnson yesterday in London. She is currently acting as Albarn’s coach, after her own 1992 injury has rendered her unable to step back into the court she has once called home.

The Nightmare’s influence on Albarn’s career is undeniable. What was once a fledgling star on Challengers in small towns is now known globally for his talent with a racket. However, all of The Nightmare’s troubles have recently been in vain, for Albarn is facing a career-ending losing streak the size of Edinburgh.

His current stats have been plummeting after his stellar performance in Wimbledon in 1994. Albarn has been losing to newcomers such as Johnson as well as Monroe, Fairchild, and Diaz. His recent fall in rank has been leaving the tennis community wondering; is this the end? If so, how in the world would The Nightmare let it end?

GALLAGHER BACK ON TRACK

We all thought the we’ve seen the last of Liam Gallagher. A tennis guru with all the skill yet seemingly none of the passion. Early 1994 saw the end of Gallagher’s bountiful career when he traded in the racket for a cold glass of lager. Since then, Gallagher has effectively disappeared from the court.

Until now.

Multiple sources have confirmed that Gallagher has recently signed up for the Challenger to be held in Leeds this upcoming February. Fans speculate that he has been gearing up for the long awaited comeback in the two years he’s been out of commission. But when asked for a statement, Gallagher bluntly states, “Was out of money, me. As broke as a shattered piggy bank,” he shrugged. “Figured this would be an easy way to get bank. I’m good at this shite.”

Famous for his unexpected rise in ranks, you may remember Gallagher as the former gardener at the Manchester Tennis Club where he one day decided to pick up a racket and see where it took him. With his humble beginnings, many were charmed by Gallagher and his boyish swagger, and they were even more taken by the force in which he wields a racket.

ALBARN RETRACES HIS STEPS!

In a career-defining risk, The Nightmare makes the shocking decision to enter her husband, Damon Albarn, into a small Challenger in Leeds. It is an obvious bid to have him rise up the ranks, having small time opponents that he’d no doubt have no trouble winning against. However, with his current losing streak, we have to ask; maybe retirement wouldn’t be so bad?

LIAM GALLAGHER: I’M GONNA SMASH THAT ****’S FACE UP WITH HIS OWN RACKET

In an unshocking display of aggression, twenty-four year old tennis star, Liam Gallagher makes a bold statement to a crowd of reporters asking him about his impending reunion with Albarn on the court and if he thinks he could manage beating his former doubles partner.

To jog your memory, 1988 saw the rise of The Golden Boy and The Wildcard — Albarn and Gallagher respectively. They were a known duo in local and international tennis competitions where they competed in youth doubles. They gathered wins like stones and were celebrated in the tennis community as the next big thing.

However, 1992 saw the downfall of the duo when Gallagher’s then girlfriend, tennis breakout star, The Nightmare had a career ending injury. Neither party issued a statement since.

THE NIGHTMARE: IT’S ALL ABOUT WATCHING SOME GOOD ****ING TENNIS

Since stepping foot in Leeds, The Nightmare makes her first statement to the press. And it’s not PR for Albarn’s dwindling career — how shocking! No, she makes a statement in retaliation to a reporter’s blunt question about having Albarn and Gallagher competing again like old times and “had she felt like she was missing out”?

With the temper we all know and love, inside the court and outside of it, she snaps. “You lot love to stand out here and make assumptions on our lives, on our careers, on our ranks,” she spits. “That’s not what this is about. This entire season, you’ve been obsessed with stats and charts. But for me, it’s about watching some good ****ing tennis.”

Albarn comes to collect his wife shortly after the outburst, giving the press a good natured, media-trained statement, before retreating back into his private court with his coach slash wife. Albarn’s career might be falling apart, but we know that some things will always stay the same. For example, his wife’s spitfire way of looking at the world. What a shame her career came to such an abrupt end.

this is such a sensitive topic. yes. it’s so hot.
