Italian photographer Ray Giubilo captured a lifelong photo at the U.S. Open on Sunday.
Giubilo watches Italian Jasmine Paolini play against Australia's Destanee Aiava in the first round of the match. The seventh seed Paolini won the match in a row, but that's not what we remember from the match.
On Monday, Giubilo posted a photo of Paolini on his Instagram account, one of the coolest moving images we've seen this year. It features Paolini's design that perfectly lines up her racket.
The photo is below.
It's just the perfect timing and perfect angle for the lens.
Giubilo is an employee photographer IL Tennis Italian And recorded many amazing photos on their Instagram account.
As for Paolini, she will face Iva Jovic in the second round on Wednesday. The 29-year-old Italian, who ranked short in the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon in 2024, entered the fourth round of the U.S. Open in 2024. She is still looking for her first Grand Slam title.
