I love tennis! I wish I could play it better but I'll settle for watching it. I managed to get a media creditial for the women's tournament held in Mason, OH at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. What an experience walking across to the court to get to the media benches. I would have given anything to actually have been allowed to take a racket and just hit one ball. Below are some of the pictures I took over 4 days. It was hard to pick just a few to post. I tried for a variety. Hope you like them.

What else is a photographer to do during a rain delay but take pictures of signs in the tunnel.
