EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in tennis history - the first international match at Wimbledon in 1883. The image showcases two pairs of skilled players, W and E Renshaw from England, and C M and Js Clark from the USA, engaged in an intense game on the grass court. The players' determination is palpable as they focus on every move, their eyes fixed on the ball with unwavering concentration. This snapshot freezes a pivotal moment that would shape the future of tennis as a global sport. Taken by an English photographer during the 19th century, this print holds immense historical significance. It now resides within a private collection, cherished for its portrayal of this landmark event. The photograph was later used to illustrate "Fifty Years of Wimbledon" by A Wallis Myers in 1926, further cementing its place in tennis history. Its timeless quality allows us to transport ourselves back to that era when passion for sports knew no boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded not only of the skill and dedication displayed by these early pioneers but also of how far tennis has come since that inaugural international match at Wimbledon in 1883.
