Waiting for the Tennis Courts to Dry: A Snapshot of Patience and Perseverance in the 1920s This evocative photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News in 1927, captures the essence of anticipation and resilience in the face of uncooperative weather during the Botanical Hard Court tennis tournament at Brooklands, Surrey. The image portrays a group of women, dressed in fashionable 1920s attire, huddled under an umbrella and gazing intently at the rain-soaked tennis courts. The terrential rain has left the courts waterlogged, forcing the postponement of the tournament. Despite the disappointment, the women maintain their spirits, as they wait for the courts to dry, their tennis rackets at the ready. An umpire, seated in a water-stained chair, keeps a watchful eye on the situation, while a net and roll are nearby, signaling the hope that play will resume soon. The clouds overhead roll ominously, hinting at the possibility of more rain. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of tennis as an outdoor leisure activity, even in less-than-ideal conditions. The Botanical Hard Court tournament, held in the picturesque setting of Brooklands, was a popular event in the 1920s, attracting both amateur and professional players. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the simple joys of sport and the determination to carry on, no matter the weather.
