One of the great aspects of the Miami Open is the close proximity between spectators and players. This was a match between Alexandr Dolgopolov (who we met yesterday) and Spanish player Tommy Robredo on Court #1. This is an intimate court, and, as you can see, fans are pretty darn close to the action.
Tommy Robredo has been on the professional tennis circuit for 17 years (believe it or not) and currently is ranked #20 on the tour. He's one of those guys who seems to play consistently (when he's healthy) but that big breakthrough has been elusive. Nine years ago, he peaked in the top 10. Robredo ended up losing this match in three sets to Dolgo. Bad for Robredo but good for Dolgo, who, as I mentioned yesterday, is trying to claw his way back to being considered a rising star.

These are two really great action shots, especially the 2nd one. You must have had a decent vantage point as well as a long lens! Nice!
