EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black and white portrait, A. Wallis Myers (1878-1939) is seen in thoughtful repose, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. A leading figure in the world of tennis journalism during the first half of the 20th century, Myers was the lawn tennis correspondent for The Daily Telegraph from 1909 until his death, and the lawn tennis editor for The Field Magazine. An accomplished author, he penned several books on tennis, including a biography on four-time Wimbledon champion Anthony Wilding, who tragically lost his life in World War I. Myers' contributions to tennis journalism were not limited to his writing. During the war, he served in the Ministry of Information, using his expertise to promote the sport and boost morale. This image, taken in 1937, captures the intensity and dedication of a man whose passion for tennis extended far beyond the court. With his sharp suit, neatly parted hair, and serious expression, Myers exudes an air of authority and expertise. This portrait is a testament to a remarkable career in tennis journalism, one that left an indelible mark on the sport and its fans. Wallis Myers' legacy as a tennis journalist, editor, and author continues to be celebrated today. His insightful reporting and thoughtful analysis brought the game to life for readers around the world, while his books remain valuable resources for tennis historians and enthusiasts.
