EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of tennis history as it depicts New Zealand-born tennis champion, Anthony Frederick Wilding, in the prime of his career on the Beau Site Courts at Cannes in 1914. Wilding, an accomplished athlete, is seen here in the company of fellow tennis personalities F.G. Lowe, G.M. Simond, and Craig Biddle. Anthony Frederick Wilding (1873-1915) was a four-time Wimbledon champion, having won the Gentlemen's Singles title in 1908, 1910, 1911, and 1913. His dominance in the sport during this period solidified his place as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. The image of Wilding and his contemporaries at the Beau Site Courts in Cannes offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of tennis during the early 20th century. The players are seen in their formal attire, dressed in long-sleeved shirts and trousers, with caps and ties completing their smart appearance. The net and court in the background add to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to an era when tennis was a more refined and elegant pursuit. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of tennis and the enduring legacy of its champions. Wilding's accomplishments on the court continue to inspire and captivate tennis fans around the world, and this image serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that has defined the sport for over a century.
