Here is a set of pictures of a tennis match between the game Arnoux, the husband of Marie-Helene, and my son Michael in 1983. I don’t remember the outcome, although I believe they were evenly matched.
Michael had youth on his side,
but, in putting him under pressure, his French opponent demonstrated a certain skill.
Sam, looking hopeful here, probably got a game in as well.
What treasured photographs these are!
thank you very much, Anne
Those shorts!
🙂 Thanks a lot, Sheree
Wonderful photo memories–I especially like Sam in his boots. 💙
These are great action shots, ending unexpectedly with the wistful little Sam.
Does Sam still have his hair like that?
An excellent set of action shots.
That last photo of Sam is a real treasure.
Great photos. Your son looks like he had the height advantage! Cute little guy with his racket!
Thanks very much, Dwight
You are welcome!
Wonderful vignette! Sam does look a little wistful.
Thanks very much, Laurie
Wonderful memories!
Thanks very much, John
This looks like a great tennis experience, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Robbie
In tennis, love is nothing. 😉
🙂 Certainly not in Australia at the moment. Thanks a lot, Pat
True that. 🏸
Excellent picture, very dynamic. Sam is adorable as ever.
Thank you so much, Dolly
Oh, I love Sam’s wellies. Why is it they never want to take them off. I have removed shiny new wellies only after they’d fallen asleep!
A good point, Sue. Thanks very much
heehee poor Sam. He looks so eager but dumb-struck by the giants.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
What wonderful actions shots! I always loved tennis…to play and to watch. Little Sam looks like he’s ready to take on the winner! 😉
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
That last picture is such a sweet pay-off. I have been meaning to back up my photos – seeing these precious family photos means I must resolve to do it this weekend.
Thank you very much, Libre. I wish you well with the task
It’s going slowly!
It is good you have these old photos and memories, Derrick. Sam looks adorable in his boots, too!
Thank you so much, Lavinia
Gorgeous memories and lovely photos!
Many thanks, Ribana
