I love the intensity of the look and posture of the various players in each shot. The shots that stand out for me have the inclusion of the ball with the player's attention focused on that ball. The inclusion of the shadows of the players in three of the shots in the comment section add to that feeling of intensity for me.

All good, the last 4 super-good.

O.P. excellent, as well.

Great series! A friend of mine was there too.
She said, "How do you hit a ball back that's going 110 miles per hour?"
I think the more important question is, "How do you keep from getting hit by a ball going
110 miles per hour?"

I am amazed by the your ability while sitting in the bleachers in that open, sunny place to get their skin tones to reveal the contours of all those splendid limbs and their muscles. And to get the timing right as well . . . I like them all but the streched out lady with the racket and ball shadow adding to the drama deserves a standing ovation.
