EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the thrilling days of 1936 at The Wimbledon Tennis Championships. In this iconic image, we see the legendary Fred Perry from Great Britain fiercely competing against Donald (Don) Budge of the USA in the Men's Semi-finals. The intensity is palpable as both players showcase their exceptional skills on Centre Court. With a powerful backhand stroke, Fred Perry demonstrates his mastery over the game, while Don Budge puts up a formidable fight. The crowd eagerly watches every move, their eyes fixed on these tennis titans battling it out for victory. In an exhilarating match that kept spectators on edge, Fred Perry ultimately emerged triumphant with a hard-fought win of 5-7,6-4,6-3,6-4. This victory was just one among many for Perry at Wimbledon during this era; he claimed consecutive championships in 1934,1935 and again in 1936. The photograph captures not only the intense action but also provides glimpses into the fashion and atmosphere of tennis in the early twentieth century. From Perry's long trousers to wooden racquets and traditional whites worn by both players and spectators alike – it truly transports us to a different time. Preserved through time by photographer Malindine's lens, this remarkable image serves as a testament to Fred Perry's incredible talent and his enduring legacy within the sport of tennis.
