Illustrazione vettoriale stilizzata su sfondo azzurro: un uomo in abito bianco da tennis, visto di profilo e inquadrato dal busto in su, è ritratto nell’atto di servire, con il braccio destro sollevato e la racchetta rossa impugnata in alto. Lo stile è piatto, con forme semplificate e pochi dettagli, nei toni del bianco, rosso e azzurro.

more information

Amidst autobiographical anecdotes and legends, Longo wonders whether tennis might not be the embodiment of a happiness lost and, at the same time, of a happiness yet to come.

The book recounts epic matches and rivalries that have shaped the sport’s history, from Borg and McEnroe to Federer and Nadal, and on to Sinner and Alcaraz, as well as legendary matches such as the US Open final between Pennetta and Vinci.
