This could easily become my favourite thread.

Flickr often produces gems.

Examples (all from Madrid 2009):

Irony.

Love the warm colouring and the use of natural light to further add to the effects.

Beautiful! Love the Verdasco one for some reason

OMG, these pics are AWESOME

thank you SO much

You're welcome.

Other photos I like, but maybe not "brilliant":

...the rain and that look of agony on Mario's face.

I like how they're both smiling whilst looking in different directions.

Paulo.

Maybe not strictly tennis... but

His senior career in a nutshell.

Can't seem to find this in it's original colours. :/

A few more.

By Bob Martin.

WTA, brilliant nevertheless. She looks like a sprinter who's just left the blocks.

That Ivanisevic one is brilliant.

Where is the tournament with the guys hosing down the clay court?

Yes, one of my favourites.

Brazil, Costa Do Sauipe if I remember (the caption) correctly.

I hate to sound pedantic but

brilliant photography isnt pictures of playing hitting balls

thats weak

a "brilliant" photo should tell a story... more than what the photo is saying

for example:

i hate to pimp out my own photo selections but

each of my pictures tells a story... you can read into it. it works on multiple levels, i carefully chose each one, its really wonderfully selected (if i do say so myself)

i didn't just think, hey, nice picture of a backhand

in fact, the one picture of the gasquet backhand tells a unique story in itself... Richard's chest out, his arms fully extended in a text book manner- the puffed up chest- a french rooster in full roar even- hitting the most eloquent of shots, with the poise God only seems to gift to the french

I struggle to see how Wikipedia screen shots of players' results counts as brilliant photography. But to each their own.

I liked the Gasquet backhand picture, though.
