The Serve by Jan Michael Gambill

At a tennis tournament in San Jose, California 2003, Jan Michael Gambill was playing a young qualifier. It was during the day sessions and many of the seats were empty. I could roam around and get at the angle that I wanted. I have a camera that will shoot 8 frames a second and let me capture a fraction of the sequences of a serve.
