In the sports comedy The Dink, premiering on July 24, 2026, on Apple TV+, former tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (played by Jake Johnson) has traded the professional circuit for a modest job coaching at his father’s struggling country club.
Bitter about his unrealized potential, Dusty openly mocks the explosive popularity of pickleball, dismissing it as a passing fad. But when he reinjures himself and is forced to take up the sport as part of his rehabilitation, he unexpectedly discovers a genuine passion for the game.
As his skepticism gives way to newfound enthusiasm, Dusty must confront the disappointments that derailed his tennis career, including an unresolved rivalry with his longtime nemesis, Andy Roddick, who appears as himself.
Blending humor, heart, and redemption, The Dink follows Dusty’s unlikely journey toward a second chance, both on and off the court.
