GALLERY | ROLAND GARROS 2019
A collection of my photos from the tournament.
Roland Garros is known as the most stylish grand slam and for good reason. Here's a detail on the seats.
The imposing Court Philippe Chatrier has a completely different vibe to Wimbledon's Centre Court
Chatrier feels vast inside, an arena suitable for gladiators
Court Suzanne Lenglen has lots of stylish touches but it is completely exposed to both the sun and the rain
The new third court, Simonne Mathieu, is easily my favourite of the show courts
Even the route to Simonne Mathieu, through l'Orangerie, is beautiful
The famous clay at Roland Garros
It wasn't a vintage tournament for Anett Kontaveit as she exited in the first round
Richard Gasquet delighted the home faithful with a victory on Simonne Mathieu
A pensive Andrea Petkovic though she did win in the end
The seemingly immortal Feliciano Lopez, playing into his fifth decade
I caught Victoria Azarenka in doubles action with Ash Barty. Not a bad partnership!
One of the cleanest hitters you'll ever see with a dream of a backhand - Amanda Anisimova
Daniil Medvedev making his feelings known
If you want to see a stylish game in action, watch Carla Suarez Navarro
2016 Olympic gold medallist Monica Puig
It was a privilege to watch Juan Martin del Potro in the flesh. Sadly, this was one of the last outings for that historic forehand.
The surprise 2017 winner Jelena Ostapenko about to return
If Daria Kasatkina is on an outside court, go watch her and enjoy a unique game
While it wasn't a great outing here for Bianca Andreescu, later that summer she lifted the US Open
Simona Halep is one of my favourite players to watch so it was great to see her in an evening match on Chatrier
It would eventually be a first major title for Ash Barty at Roland Garros 2019
My favourite experience of the entire trip was watching Stan Wawrinka do his thing from a front row seat. Absolutely spectacular.
Apart from the odd phone image, all photos during that trip were taken with a Fujifilm FinePix S2970.
