Who is this crowd of photographers eagerly awaiting??
None other than Nadal, of course, seen here beating a decidedly dejected Djokovic 6-3, 6-1 at the recent Monte Carlo Open, thus winning the trophy for the eighth time in a row, and perhaps more importantly, breaking a run of seven losses against the Number One - Eighth time lucky all round!!
And where else could you watch the world's top tennis players in such a beautiful setting squeezed between the mountains and the sea....??
.....complete with a cruise ship gliding by behind your head as you serve......!!
This is a tournament I shall definitely be returning to next year...in the meantime check out other shadow shots this week by clicking here....Enjoy!!

Have a nice weekend****
Great shots!
The cruise shot in the background is pretty cool. :)
the court looks to be very warm. great shots!!! thanks for sharing with us!! have a great weekend!!!
This seems to be the perfect place for a center court - the mountainous terrain leaves a tiny valley in which the players can volley. Of course with the gorgeous sea in the background, the game might be secondary...nice neighborhood!
Wonderful shadows on the court!
What a great amazing and hot day.
Cool parade of shadow shots and it's appreciated you share to us.
Happy SSS,

Gorgeous setting for a major tennis tournament! I guess the touches of shadow were welcome intruders!
