How amazing is shot 6, look where Serena's eyes are focused...she's not actually focusing on the ball but where (i assume) she intends to hit it...

Thanks, these were shot with wither 70-200 f/2.8L or 300 f/4L

liam510 well done, especially with that harsh light.

Thanks Liam, very harsh light all week, our sun is gets virtually directly overhead, very hot, almost impossible to see your LCD too so you have to rely a lot on your metering instincts. Players also have a lot of trouble with the ball toss going into the sun.
