The Wightman Cup Tennis girls, including Ann Haydon (left), are captured in this vintage print as they embark on a rigorous training session at Wimbledon. The year is 1962, and anticipation fills the air as these talented athletes prepare to face off against their American counterparts on Friday. In this snapshot from the past, we witness not only the determination of these remarkable women but also the collaborative spirit within the tennis community. Several male players can be seen assisting our girls during their training, highlighting the camaraderie that exists among competitors. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club serves as a backdrop for this historic moment. Its hallowed grounds have witnessed countless battles between tennis legends throughout its long history. As part of this prestigious venue, Wimbledon adds an extra layer of significance to this event. Amongst these formidable female athletes stands Ann Haydon Jones, who would later become known simply as Ann Jones. Her presence exudes confidence and strength, setting an example for her fellow teammates. This image captures a pivotal moment in sports history when women's tennis was gaining recognition and respect. It symbolizes not only fierce competition but also unity and support within the sport. Charlie Ley's skillful photography immortalizes this iconic scene from 1960s tennis culture.
