The beauty of Venus

I love Wimbledon fortnight, and was lucky to get a Centre Court ticket yesterday. I saw Venus Williams v Ana Konjuh, Andy Murray v Benoit Paire, and Roger Federer v Grigor Dimitrov. Incredible to think that it's Venus's third decade at Wimbledon, and she is still playing her best tennis against the top players.

This was taken from Row U, with a 70-300mm zoom and extra cropping!

What a great day you must have had. All those stars, especially Roger F, the King! Nice action shot - I presume that the ball is present in the shadow?

Fantastic capture of her, sounds like you had a great day at the tennis

Oh, how lucky you were. I am envious.
Fantastic shot.
Venus has been my favorite tennis player from the very beginning.

@jon_lip Thanks! Venus throws the ball very high when she serves, and I only managed to capture the shadow of the tennis ball in this shot

@nicolecampbell Thank you - it really was a good day!

@octogenarian Thank you! Venus is one of my favourites, too. She and Serena are incredible players and personalities, and tennis really would not be the same without them.

Very envious - you got some cracking shots. Well done!!
