EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and grace of Rene Lacoste as he competes against Hubert de Morpurgo in the fifth round of the men's singles at Wimbledon on July 7, 1928. The image, published on page 27 of the Illustrated London News, showcases Lacoste at the height of his tennis career. In both 1926 and 1927, he held the top ranking in the men's game, making him a world-renowned figure in the sport. Lacoste's distinctive tennis attire, featuring a crocodile emblem, has become synonymous with the game and continues to be celebrated to this day. However, it's essential to note that this image predates the establishment of the Lacoste brand and should not be mistaken for an advertisement or commercial use. Instead, it represents a moment in history when Lacoste, with his unparalleled skill and determination, left an indelible mark on the tennis world. The fifth round of the Wimbledon Championships was a pivotal moment for Lacoste, as he faced off against Morpurgo. The outcome of this match would determine his progression in the tournament and further solidify his standing as a tennis legend. As the players exchange serves, their focus is unwavering, and the tension between them is palpable. The crowd, gathered around the court, eagerly anticipates the outcome of this highly-anticipated match.
