Great shots Rick. Not a sport I've ever tried to shoot before. How did you find it?

I've shot tennis many times before with my Pentax gear before moving to Sony last year and shot a couple of matchs with the a7RV. This was the first time I decided to shoot with the 135 f/1.8 and I ended up shooting most of the match with it. I taught at the school of the team in the white tops until I retired. I always ask the visiting team coach if it is ok if I shoot from between the courts since they do have the right to ask that no one be on the courts but the players. I tell them that while I am mainly shooting for the home team I will get some shots of their players as well. This match I was not paid to be there so I made the photos available to view and purchase. So far this morning I've had four sales and three of the four were by parents of the visiting team. I guess I should have taken more photos of them. All told I only shot for an hour and spend a little over an hour editing.
 
Some good shots! I played tennis in highschool, so I instantly felt the muscle memory of tossing the ball up for a serve when I saw some of those photos.
