[QUOTE="STM, post: 114474, member: 12827"] I have played tennis all of my life and even went to UNC on a tennis scholarship. That being said, I love to photograph tennis events. When I was living in Jacksonville, FL the tennis community at Amelia Island hosted a week long tournament each year sponsored by Bausch and Lomb. It was open to women only of all nationalities. They also hosted a Dupont sponsored week long tournament which was open to both men and women but only Americans. I shot the photo below of Gabriella Sabatini at the B&L when she beat Steffi Graf in the final. I used an F2S, MD-2 motor drive, 300mm f/4,5 AIS Nikkor and high speed Ektachrome film.

I spent a fortune but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I begged and pleaded to be able to get a seat in the press box under the guise that I was writing a book on women's tennis. No book, but some great photos. Steffi beat Arantxa Sanchez in the final, it was a wonderful match! Again the F2S and MD-2 but this time with a 300mm f/2,8 ED-IF AIS Nikkor, only one stop down with High Speed Ektachrome.
