Cover art:

Blurb: "PLENTY OF INSIDER STUFF...AND SEX. A FAST-LANE FANTASY." —Philadelphia Inquirer

"An insider's view of professional tennis on its highest level....A heady mixture, composed in equal parts of tennis playing, money, sex, endorsements and commercials, groupies, managers, wheeling and dealing, drugs, the superrich and the beautiful people.

-The New York Times Book Review

"Slick and fast-paced. THIS IS A TENNIS VALLEY OF THE DOLL...

What sets the book apart is the inside look at the tennis circuit that Nastase provides... Detailed and evocative" -San Francisco Chronicle

"An action-packed story with more crime, sleaze, sex, drugs and booze than is to be expected in a novel about a sport that has been traditionally coputed to be played and followed by a gentle aristocratic set."

"Break Point contains some stinging passing shots..a sense of the pressures placed upon these gladiators in short pants by their worshipful women, their money-hungry agents and the solitary sport itself...

Entertaining"-Washington Post Book World

"Nastase is an accomplished showman...He diverts the readers with tennis history, strategy and backcourt gossip. -Chicago Tribune

"GLITTERY, GLITZY"-Kirkus Reviews”
