EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the sun-kissed courts of Roland Garros in June 1931 as Contesse Fermo Murari della Corte Braei, nee Cilly Aussem, and Betty Nuthall prepare to face off in the women's singles final at the French Lawn Tennis Championships. This black-and-white photograph from The Northcliffe Collection captures a moment of anticipation and focus as these two tennis titans make their way onto the court.
Cilly Aussem, later Contesse Fermo Murari della Corte Braei, was a dominant force in women's tennis during the 1920s and '30s. With her powerful serves and precise volleys, she won numerous titles including three French Open championships. Betty Nuthall, meanwhile, was a British player known for her aggressive playing style and impressive record on grass courts.
As they step onto the court together, these two tennis legends embody the spirit of competition and sportsmanship that defined their era. The photograph's nostalgic quality invites us to relive this moment in history when women's tennis was gaining popularity and international recognition. Take a trip back in time with this iconic image from The Northcliffe Collection.
