On Sunday, I was browsing my site TennisGrandStand and I look at the left column of the frontpage where Tennis Served Fresh is placed and see the title “Why do women love tennis ?” By Erwin Ong. The title naturally it caught my interest and I wondered why do women love tennis. Then I see a pictures of two men with naked torsos and it all made sense. But hey wait a minute…what about the men? The men shouldn’t be left behind and so I am uploading a gallery I have received yesterday from our photographer Ralf Reinecke who is currently residing in Prague to shoot photos for TennisGrandStand at the ECM Prague Open.
But first off some links that I thought you might find interesting:
