BNP Paribas 2009 Photos

Photos of my trip to the 2009 BNP Paribas Open. I watched matches featuring Federer, Murray, Kirilenko, Verdasco, and more. Click on the images for a larger version. Next time I go I plan to see more night matches and go earlier in the week. It’s quite cool to be able to see just how hard the pros smack that ball. It’s especially evident on the side courts.

    very cool photos! I have a wordpress site too, (not tennis related), i was wondering what plugin did you use to have the photos display like this on your site. Its very cool.
  • Thanks John. I just use the normal "insert a photo" function. Then I have it re-size the image and link to "post url". You need to set up an "attachment.php" file then that displays the photo on a new page.

    I was actually going to use the NextGen Gallery plugin though. That seems to be pretty cool. Had a bit of problems getting it to work but I may try again.
