TATUM NICOLS ALWAYS CAME SECOND TO TASHI DUNCAN. Always. In college and beyond, both in tennis and when it came to her relationship.

Growing up with an idolized mother in the sport of tennis, Tatum had no choice but to be perfect at tennis. She was born and bred to do so. She rode the wave of being the best and the youngest in the sport and it was everything to her. What she lived and breathed . Eyes on the prize, she'd say. But Tashi Duncan came along and ruined everything.
