Wtf tennis

The meaning hidden in this photograph confuses me, as I think it is meant to.

What is happening, we ask ourselves? Are we meant to be blinded by the single white cyclopean eye staring out at us over the void-like maw of the chimney that looks poised to swallow Rafa's chair, and Rafa himself? Why are Rafa and Nando both touching their left wrists. Are their crossed arm postures meant to signal their insecurity and human frailty, or are they merely itchy? What has Roger just said to make Rafa smile fondly from his slumped, submissive posture, to make Mandy glance up in shock, and to cause Nando's face to darken to a bullish glare? We will never know.

All the attention in the room is directed towards Roger-- even the cyclops seems to be looking wistfully his way-- entranced, alarmed, bored in turn, but in the end, his expression obscure and shrouded, he is only giving his attention to one thing - Rafa's knees.

The artistic vision of the ATP photographer knows no bounds.



This one simply defies all analysis. A success, I think.
