A Guest Entry from wTennis Photos (20 Pictures from the Rogers Cup in Montreal)

Several months ago, wTennisPhotos won a contest on Twitter and I offered him an entry on my blog of his choice.  Being an avid tennis photographer, wTennisPhotos, who runs the website www.wtennisphotos.com, asked me to post some pictures from his trip to Montreal in August.  So, several weeks later, I am posting his best pictures of the best women in Canada in a two-part installment beginning today.  Enjoy!!
