AP sports week in pictures
AP photographers will always capture the most important moments at the world’s biggest sporting events, but they also have an eye for the drama in little moments that might otherwise slip by unnoticed in the noise.
Last week was an eventful one with a host of finals in men’s and women’s soccer, Formula 1 racing in Monaco, the climax of the Giro d’Italia cycling in Rome, the ice hockey world championship in Prague, basketball finals, baseball, volleyball and more.
Thibault Camus captured the whole scene as Slovakian tennis player Rebecca Sramkova played a shot against Amanda Anisimova of the U.S. during their French Open first-round match on Sunday, with spectators’ shadows creating a nice semi-vignette balanced on the right by the pleasing white lines of the court.
