EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in tennis history. Fred Perry, the legendary British player, stands on the right side of the net while Gottfried von Cramm, his German opponent, stands on the left. The image freezes time as they shake hands at the conclusion of the Men's Wimbledon finals. The scoreboard tells an astonishing story - Perry's victory was nothing short of dominant. With a resounding 6-1,6-1,6-0 win over von Cramm, Perry solidified his status as one of Wimbledon's greatest champions. This triumph marked his third consecutive Wimbledon title after winning in 1934 and 1935. The scene is set amidst the hallowed grounds of Centre Court at London's All England Lawn Tennis Club. The crowd fills every available space to witness this display of skill and sportsmanship. Both players are dressed impeccably in traditional whites with long trousers - a far cry from today's modern tennis attire. As their hands meet across the net, there is an undeniable sense of respect between these two great competitors. Their handshake symbolizes both commiseration for von Cramm and congratulations for Perry. It exemplifies true sportsmanship that transcends national boundaries. This remarkable photograph transports us back to July 3rd, 1936 – a day when Fred Perry etched his name into tennis folklore and left an indelible mark on Wimbledon history.
