Looking for a New Face of Tennisopolis... Yours!

See Venus Williams at the top of the page? This could be you! We're looking to update our site header and thought, "who would be better than one of our own members?" Send us an action shot of you (or any member you nominate) playing tennis. The image must be fairly good quality (good enough to work on our header).

Post images in this thread. Discussion is welcome here too. Tennisopolis Admins will make the call.

Any questions?

Mark

^^^^it was that omni stuff if i can remember. We have it in abundance in the UK as its all weather, personally I hate it. Much prefer hardcourts and proper clay which is rare here, we have shale and thats s**t!

Off to play in a couple of hours. The snow has cleared so Ive got a couple of days play before the wife could complain....:)

I think my new painting "Deuce" would makea good symbol for Tennisopolis.....although it would be difficult to useon a header!

Deuce (2010) 180cm x 140cm
oil & spray paint on canvas
Duece is a painting of the Cocoon nebula system, the death of a star, giving birth to new life. In the painting a giant sun gives birth to a new star, a modern more technological star making references to Darwin and evolution as progress and anologous to man's continual persuit for perfection.
Rafa Nadal serving into the bottom left corner makes reference to the pedestal we put our stars on, something that rivals the anormity of what's going above our heads.

I got one more here. This is a picture of me hitting my FH volley. I use a pretty low tension on my strings and you can see "the pocketing effect" it has on the ball in this photo.
