This print takes us back to the intense Men's Singles Semi-Finals at Wimbledon in 1935. The image captures Britain's tennis legend, Fred Perry, in a moment of sheer determination as he battles against Australia's Jack Crawford on Centre Court. Perry's agility is evident as he lunges forward, stretching his body to its limits to return a powerful forehand shot. The crowd surrounding the court adds an electric atmosphere to the scene, their eyes fixed on these two skilled athletes competing for victory. Perry's focus is unwavering as he grips his wooden racquet tightly, ready to unleash another precise stroke across the grass court. This match proved pivotal for Perry as he emerged triumphant with a hard-fought win of 6-2,3-6,6-4,6-4. This victory propelled him towards claiming the ultimate prize that year - winning Wimbledon for the second time in a row. A testament to his exceptional talent and dedication. Fred Perry would go on to make history by securing three consecutive Wimbledon titles from 1934 to 1936. His legacy remains etched in tennis folklore even today. Preserved through time by photographer Malindine, this picture transports us back into an era where long trousers were still worn during matches and wooden racquets ruled supreme. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable achievements and enduring spirit of one of Britain's greatest sportsmen - Fred Perry.
