Tennis and Emotion!

I really enjoy getting up close to Tennis players when they are in the heat of a battle, as there are often a lot of passionate and emotional moments. This is one of the main reasons why Tennis is my favourite sport to watch and shoot in person. The closeness makes all the emotion seem more real. The desire. The passion. The fight. The will to win. The following photographs are some of my attempts at capturing this- all the pictures were taken last summer.
