EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Henry Wilfred Bunny Austin (1906-2000) of Great Britain, stands with a determined expression as he looks up at the imposing figure of his opponent, Lyttelton Rogers of Ireland, during the first match of the Coronation Year Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon in 1937. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches tall, Rogers casts an intimidating shadow over the 5 feet 11 inch Austin. Despite the height difference, Austin remained unfazed as he went on to win the four-set match, demonstrating his skill and resilience on the court. The Coronation Year Lawn Tennis Championships marked a significant moment in the history of Wimbledon, as it was held to celebrate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Austin's victory in the first round was an impressive feat, as he went on to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. Bunny Austin, as he was affectionately known, was a talented tennis player who made a name for himself on the international stage. Throughout his career, he won several titles, including the French Championships in 1937 and the Australian Championships in 1938. Rogers, too, was a formidable opponent, having reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 1934 and 1935. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the match between two talented sportsmen, showcasing the intensity and focus required to succeed in the world of tennis. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of Wimbledon, and the enduring spirit of competition that continues to define the sport.
