"Of the scores of photographers from across the globe snapping thousands upon thousands of photos at this year's US Open, one image has stood out above all the others so far at the tennis grand slam in New York. A slight imbalance from seventh-seed Jasmine Paolini and a relentlessly steady hand allowed photographer Ray Giubilo to nail a one-in-a-million shot at Flushing Meadows this week.

"Tennis photography isn't known for its sense of humour. The images are often clean, sharp and intense but rarely are they hilarious. A nanosecond later or before would have rendered a completely different frame and missed the pure comedic value behind Giubilo's image. Half terrifying and half sublime, the image was captured by complete fluke. Giubilo told the Guardian he had been waiting for a long time for something like this,"
Photographer Ray Giubilo captured a one-in-a-million image when seventh-seed Jasmine Paolini slipped slightly off balance during a forehand at the US Open. The whimsical frame combined a rare body position and an impeccably timed shutter, producing a half-terrifying, half-sublime result. The image's comedic value depended on a nanosecond; nearby frames did not replicate the effect. Giubilo recognized the shot instantly when he saw it on the back of his Nikon Z9 and had been waiting for a moment like that. He attempted to capture the same image the following night but could not replicate it. Paolini praised the picture and later acknowledged Giubilo courtside after her win.
