Last week I mentioned I took a trip up to KL to shoot the Federer – Sampras match so thought I’d share a few images. Shooting from the press box gave me an excellent vantage point and it’s easy to say that the quality of the tennis on display was nothing short of spectacular. I think everyone in attendance, along with the 65 countries viewing live, were well aware that this was (in addition to the S.Korea and Macau exhibition matches) a once in a lifetime deal. To see the two greatest players of our generation on the same court really was a thrill for all tennis fans and it was great to be there.

I have dozens of images that I was pleased with from the evening. Here are a couple of those. Click on any image for a larger version. All photos are copyright of Lawrence Ripsher.
