EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of tennis champion, Norman Everard Brookes (1877-1968), in his prime during the early 1900s. Known as Australian No. 1, Brookes made history by winning the Wimbledon championship not once, but twice, in 1907 and 1914. His victory in 1914 was particularly noteworthy as he defeated his New Zealander partner and four-time Wimbledon champion, Anthony Wilding, in the championship final in an impressive three-set match. Brookes' impeccable style both on and off the court is evident in this portrait. Dressed in a flat cap, a stylish accessory popular among tennis players of the time, and a cardigan sweater, he exudes an air of confidence and elegance. The tennis racquet, a crucial tool in his successful career, is casually leaned against the tennis court backdrop, adding to the authenticity of the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of tennis and its early champions. Brookes' achievements continue to inspire tennis enthusiasts and sports fans alike, and this image serves as a reminder of the timeless allure and grace of the game.
