** The trailers on [=YouTube=] have comments from viewers that they made perfect use of their respective remixes "Maneater" by Nelly Furtado and "S&M" by Rihanna since the subject of both songs fits perfectly with the film's main story. For the former, this was especially the case with the song's powerful crescendo from quiet until it gets hot and heavy like the trailer itself.

* CatharsisFactor: Tashi's '''volcanic''' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Patrick after he callously asks her to coach him instead of Art, believing the latter to be burned out. It's the first real BreakTheHaughty moment for him that spells out just how ''badly'' he's fucked up his relationship with both of them.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Many reviewers have agreed that this is one of [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]] and Atticus Ross's best soundtracks since ''Film/TheSocialNetwork'', with pounding synths and beats that perfectly fit the back and forth play of the main trio's tennis matches.

** Art's perspective on the LoveTriangle, and specifically on Tashi and Patrick after Tashi's injury. Tashi yells at Patrick to leave, which is understandable; she presumably felt she acted out during the match due to their argument. But then Art yells at Patrick to leave, too. Is he genuinely angry by Patrick's behavior, is he just backing up Tashi as she doesn't want him there, or is he cynically wrecking their relationship in order to make a move on Tashi himself?
