Why the Long Face?

Why the Long Face?

Going to see the men's finals of the inaugural Brisbane International was the last installment in my insanely busy weekend. The singles final was a three-set thriller won by Radek Stepanek. While the doubles final didn't provide quite the same drama, it was entertaining for another reason: Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. I like watching him play because he always seems to enjoy himself on court. Even when he was complaining to the umpire, he was laughing! I like this shot because he looks so sad while he's holding a trophy (for winning with Marc Gicquel)...but he's actually about to burst into laughter!
