An Unforgettable Voyage: The Motorcycle Journey of Tennis Champion Captain Anthony Frederick Wilding This photograph captures the daring spirit of New Zealand-born tennis legend, Captain Anthony Frederick Wilding, as he embarks on a motorcycle tour of the United Kingdom. Wilding, who dominated the tennis world by winning Wimbledon titles in 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913, was not only an accomplished athlete but also a passionate motorist and motorcyclist. In 1908, Wilding embarked on an adventurous journey from John O'Groats to Lands End, covering over 800 miles on his motorbike. The image shows Wilding, dressed in a stylish suit and goggles, confidently seated on his motorcycle, ready to tackle the winding roads and unpredictable weather of the British Isles. The motorcycle tour was not just a thrilling adventure for Wilding but also an opportunity to connect with the people of the UK. He was welcomed with enthusiasm and admiration wherever he went, and his motorcycle journey made headlines in the press. Sadly, Wilding's life took a tragic turn when he was killed in action near Neuve Chapelle, France, on 9 May 1915, during the Battle of Aubers Ridge. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Wilding's adventurous spirit and his enduring legacy as one of New Zealand's greatest sportsmen. This evocative image, taken in 1908, is a testament to the rich history of motorcycling and tennis, and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to explore the world on two wheels.
