EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Dorothea Lambert Chambers, a tennis supremo and Wimbledon champion, is captured at Frinton-on-Sea with her young son Graham. The year is 1923, and the setting is the picturesque coastal town in Essex, England, known for its sandy beaches and popular tennis tournaments. Dorothea, dressed in a stylish hat and summer dress, watches intently as her son, dressed in a crisp tennis outfit, focuses on his game during the children's tennis tournament. The image beautifully encapsulates the bond between mother and son, as well as Dorothea's enduring passion for tennis that made her a legendary figure in the sporting world. Dorothea Lambert Chambers, born in 1892, began her tennis career at a young age and quickly rose to prominence. She won her first Wimbledon title in 1914 and went on to claim a total of five singles titles and two women's doubles titles at the prestigious tournament. Her impressive achievements earned her the nickname "Lady Dorothea" and solidified her place in tennis history. Graham, her son, followed in his mother's footsteps and became a promising tennis player himself. This photograph not only showcases their shared love for the sport but also highlights the impact Dorothea had on inspiring the next generation of tennis players. The serene atmosphere at Frinton-on-Sea provides the perfect backdrop for this heartwarming moment between a legendary tennis champion and her devoted son.
