Courage, passion, preparation and never-ending training: heartfelt choices or tactics studied in detail, capable of determining the outcome of unforgettable challenges, the overturning of "already decided" meetings or the achievement of new records. Match Point collects thirty stories of competitive spirit in their epic dimension, thirty moments that have changed sports history thanks to the incredible performances of great champions and new talents. Under the spotlight of over twenty disciplines in worldwide and Olympic competitions, historical rivalries and unprecedented challenges are staged: from the famous duel between Senna and Prost, to the records of Federica Pellegrini through the eternal Italy / France football derby and the chess duel between Kasparov and the computer.

My book design includes a set of tiny pictograms depicting the 22 sports disciplines narrated: basketball, fencing, football, rugby, tennis, volleyball, golf, equestrian, swimming, athletics, marathon, car racing, obstacle course, handbike, gymnastics, road cycling, chess, skiing, sailing, motorcycling, long jump and boxing.
