Amid the excitement of the Paris Grand Slam, the Roland-Garros wheelchair tournament holds a special place. More than just a competition, it embodies the values of pushing one’s limits, resilience, and excellence that define the greatness of sport. Every year, the world’s top male and female players take to the Parisian clay to deliver a performance of remarkable intensity. Here, France’s Ksenia Chasteau returns a serve during her match against South Africa’s Kgothatso Montjane. Chasteau is highlighted by the f/1.2 aperture of the 85mm lens mounted on a Z9 body, which separates her from the background and freezes all movement with the fast shutter speed.
