Bank of the West Classic First Round


Headed over to the Taube Family Tennis Stadium today for the Bank of the West Classic.


Starting in 1971, the week-long tournament is the oldest women's only tennis tournament! Girl Power!!


What's kind of special about this, I photographed the Bank of the West Classic in 2007 for the Palo Alto Weekly. And now I'm right back where I started, but in a totally different "place"... feeling much better than this.




Also, this year's tournament attracted big names like Maria Sharapova and though she didn't play today, she did hold a press conference. I must say, I was surprised at how honest and elegant she was with the media both in her responses and general attitude. And though a press conference photo doesn't do her justice, she is every bit as beautiful in real life as she is in all the ads!
