EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and grace of Captain Anthony Frederick Wilding as he engages in a spirited tennis match on the picturesque Cannes Club Courts in 1911. Wilding, a native of New Zealand, had already made history by winning the Wimbledon championship an impressive four times in a row, in 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913. The image showcases the athlete in his prime, poised for a powerful shot with focused determination. The Riviera's idyllic setting, with its lush greenery and sun-kissed lawns, provides a striking contrast to the impending darkness of the First World War, which would claim Wilding's life just four years later. Tragically, he died near Neuve Chapelle, France on 9 May 1915 during the Battle of Aubers Ridge. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Wilding's exceptional athletic achievements and his untimely demise. The tennis court, with its white lines and net, stands as a symbol of the sporting world's elegance and the fleeting nature of human existence. The image transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the lives of the remarkable individuals who have shaped the annals of sports history.
