Paris in pictures: Photographers' choice

Loïc Wacziak
It all started with an idea: to create an original photo series for my Instagram account featuring the athletes I photograph during Roland-Garros. I started with Jannik Sinner, then [Carlos] Alcaraz, not to mention the king of the court, Rafael Nadal. The feedback encouraged me to keep going, and then it was Coco Gauff’s turn. A few hours after posting the photos, I received several messages saying, “Wow, Coco commented on your post!”

A brief, magical moment I’ll never forget – I shyly handed her the photo and she said, “Oh, thank you!! I remember this photo very well; I showed it to my dad and he loves it too.” (A moment captured by Rudy—I can't thank him enough!)
