EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of tennis history, as Cilly Aussem (1909-1963) is warmly congratulated by her gracious opponent, Hilde Krahwinkel (1908-1981), following their intense battle in the women's singles final at Wimbledon in 1931. Aussem, the first German competitor, male or female, to win a singles title at the prestigious championship, triumphantly holds aloft her trophy, a beaming smile gracing her face. Krahwinkel, the valiant finalist, extends her hand in a gesture of sportsmanship and goodwill, her own expression reflecting a combination of respect and admiration for her victorious adversary. The elegance and poise of both players, dressed in their crisp white tennis attire, exude the refined atmosphere of the era, transporting us back to the 1930s and the golden age of ladies' tennis. This iconic image encapsulates the spirit of friendly competition and the enduring camaraderie between athletes, making it a timeless testament to the grace and beauty of the sport.
