Norman Brookes, Australia's Pride in Tennis: A Caricature of a Champion in His Element This caricature showcases Norman Brookes, the Australian tennis sensation, in his prime during the historic year of 1914. Brookes, born in 1877, was a formidable force in the world of tennis, holding the esteemed title of Australia's No. 1 player and boasting two Wimbledon championship titles under his belt – in 1907 and 1914. In this playful yet accurate depiction, Brookes is seen wearing his trademark flat cap, a nod to his Australian heritage and a symbol of his tenacious spirit on the court. The caricature, published in The Tatler in 1914, captures the essence of Brookes' charm and determination. Brookes' most notable victory came in the 1914 Wimbledon Championships, where he faced off against his formidable opponent and fellow champion, Anthony Wilding of New Zealand. In an epic three-set battle, Brookes emerged victorious, marking his second Wimbledon title and etching his name into tennis history. As the caricature reveals, Brookes was not just a skilled athlete but also a charismatic and beloved figure in the tennis world. His impact on the sport continues to resonate, inspiring generations of tennis players and fans alike. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of tennis and the remarkable achievements of one of its most iconic figures, Norman Brookes.
