Captain Anthony Frederick Wilding: A Champion's Legacy on and off the Tennis Court This evocative black and white portrait captures the intense focus and determination of New Zealand's greatest tennis champion, Anthony Frederick Wilding. Known as 'Tony' or 'The Maori,' Wilding dominated the sport during the early 20th century, winning the Wimbledon Men's Singles title an unprecedented four consecutive years from 1910 to 1913. His dazzling play on the court earned him international acclaim and cemented his place in tennis history. However, Wilding's story extends far beyond his impressive athletic achievements. As the First World War broke out in 1914, the tennis champion answered the call to duty, enlisting in the British Army as a captain. Tragically, he was killed in action on 9 May 1915 during the Battle of Aubers Ridge, near Neuve Chapelle, France. Wilding's death marked the end of an era in tennis and the beginning of a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by athletes and civilians alike during the war. The image of Wilding in his pristine tennis whites, now tinged with a sense of melancholy, serves as a poignant reminder of his remarkable career and the ultimate price paid for his patriotism. This photograph captures the essence of a true sportsman, both on and off the court, and stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Captain Anthony Frederick Wilding.
