Introduction

Dalton and Oriel had been living together for over two years. They had met after the Wimbledon tournament where Oriel's doubles partner had tested positive to drugs and both players were taken in for questioning.

The Meeting

During an interview with Dalton, advice came through that Oriel's tests had proved negative. In a show of courtesy, he took her to the police canteen and there, over a cup of tea, a mutual attraction between the two started.

The Outcome

Possibly, it wouldn't have gone any further as touring tennis players never stay long enough for lasting relationships. Fortunately, for Dalton and unfortunately for Oriel, in her next tournament she broke her ankle, ending her professional career.
