Reaching out

Dominik Hrbaty of Slovakia dives for a backhand volley at the French Open championships 2006.

A view from the top

Julien Benneteau returns a shot from Marcos Baghdatis at this year's French Open. Taken from the top of the Court 1, probably the finest tennis arena in the world (if you're a spectator, that is).

Breathing in

This big nose rests in the Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris. It's a park you shouldn't miss, if you're ever in Paris. It's a ten minute walk from the Notre Dame cathedral, south of the river.

Serving practice

Just back from Paris, where most of the days were spent at the Roland Garros tennis arena. Dominik Hrbaty tests his serve before one of his matches. 180 KPH never looked as easy.
