Grab your popcorn, tennis fans: another movie about the sport is coming to the big screen.

This week, Deadline Hollywood reported that 'Carrie Soto is Back,' the latest critically-acclaimed novel from Taylor Jenkins Reid—author of 'Daisy Jones & the Six,' which was recently adapted into a miniseries on Amazon Prime—will be made into a film.

The novel chronicles the story of Carrie Soto, a tennis champion who eschewed all else in search of a legendary tennis career. Six years after her retirement, her status as the greatest to ever play comes under threat by a young prodigy named Nicki Chan, and Soto, at age 37, makes the decision to return to the sport for one last shot at glory.

Carrie Soto is Back was published last August, and quickly rocketed to the top of The New York Times bestseller list. The film will be produced by Picturestart, and Reid will be its executive producer.

"From the moment the manuscript for CARRIE SOTO was completed, the incredible people at @picturestart made it clear that they were the perfect partners to make it a great adaptation," Jenkins Reid wrote on Instagram after the news was announced.

"They get Carrie, they love her the way I do, and they understand the heart and potential world of this story. There are more steps to come before it hits your screen but I will keep you posted along the way."

While it will chronicle a fictional player's journey, 'Carrie Soto is Back' isn't the first time tennis has hit the big screen.

Other famous tennis films include 'Wimbledon,' which stars Paul Bettany and Kirsten Dunst in a romantic comedy about two players who fall in love on the road to the All England Club; 'Battle of the Sexes,' a dramatic retelling of the famous match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in which Emma Stone portrays King; and 'Seven Days in Hell,' a mockumentary film, inspired by John Isner and Nicolas Mahut's famous match at Wimbledon, that follows Aaron Williams (Andy Samberg) and Charles Poole's (Kit Harington) epic, seven-day long match.
