thanks. i have really been enjoying your pics too.
i agree. there is something strange about that pic.
my favs have always been the australians (emerson, laver, and rosewall), vilas, muster, kuerten, bruguera, and the clay warrior. |

Re: Brilliant Tennis Photography Thread
holy shit. clay warrior has both of them beat.
rocket of rockhampton had to be that strong since he was so short.
left arm of vilas was simply menacing.
i still need to see 2 of his finals : 1977 french open and 1977 u.s. open.
i need to find them somewhere.

Re: Brilliant Tennis Photography Thread
great stuff.
this dude was most like those all time great australians. he played an attacking game, looked elegant on the court, and was graceful in victory or in defeat.
this has become my favorite thread at the asylum.
