Day 1 of the Volvo Car Open started with me photographing doubles partners Gabi Dabrowski & Yifan Xu as they visited with kids at the MUSC Children’s Hospital. Next I covered the All Access Media Hour, held at the Daniel Island Golf Center. There, I photographed the tournament portraits of the top 7 seeds: Caroline Garcia, Petra Kvitova, Daria Kasatkina (our returning Champion), Julia Goerges, Johanna Konta, Madison Keys, and Anastasija Sevastova. Next it was on to the tournament to cover player autograph sessions with the likes of Elena Vesnina, as well as the action on Stadium Court. Finally, I zipped downtown to photograph “Tennis in the City” at the Jack Adams Tennis Center with WTA player appearances by Kayla Day and Nicole Melichar.
