Another day of action here at the grounds! I was on for the night session, but came in early in the day to catch Roger Federer and a bit of Serena Williams playing in the light (and a quick glimpse of Kobe). Here is my take from the day and night together.
I wish I had a few more days in me here! A big thanks to the US Open and the super talented photo content team for having me on board again. It’s always a pleasure. And now the drive back to Boston begins.

I’m in New York City, where I’m back to shoot the US Open Tennis Championships for the first time since 2012. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. I’ve shot a lot of tennis between now and then, just not here at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Being here brings back the memories of the start to my photography career and work in tennis. I first worked at this tournament when I was just 19 years old. That’s scary.
Unfortunately, I’m only here for three days, as that’s what my schedule will allow, but I’m very thankful to the awesome US Open web and photography team for having me back. I plan to make the most of it during these three days! Last night was a good start, as Roger Federer outlasted up and comer Frances Tiafoe in a crazy five set match on Arthur Ashe.
“Novak Djokovic serves during a practice session at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California Wednesday, March 5, 2014.”“Madison Keys waves to the crowd after defeating Tsvetana Pironkova at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California Wednesday, March 5, 2014.”“Alex Kuznetsov hits an overhead during a match against Taro Daniel in Indian Wells, California Wednesday, March 5, 2014.”“Fans watch a match as the sun sets over the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California Wednesday, March 5, 2014.”“Paul Henri Mathieu picks up his towel during a match against James Ward in Indian Wells, California Wednesday, March 5, 2014.”
A long, very busy day filled with activity. I don’t have much time to post, as we have another crazy day today. Here are a few grabs that I liked.
