The New Wimbledon tennis courts - Witnessing the Birth of a Sporting Icon, April 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Between The Wars, we are transported back to the spring of 1922. A pivotal moment in sporting history unfolds before our eyes as we witness the construction of the iconic stands at The New Wimbledon tennis courts. The image showcases a bustling building site where dedicated workmen labor tirelessly to bring this grand vision to life. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they meticulously craft each beam and panel that will soon become an integral part of one of the world's most renowned sporting arenas. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe at the magnitude of what was being created. These spectator stands would go on to witness countless historic matches, legendary rivalries, and moments that would forever etch themselves into tennis folklore. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination; it captures both the physical labor involved in erecting these structures but also symbolizes something far greater – a beacon for sportsmanship, competition, and unity. Today, over nine decades later, these very same stands continue to stand tall amidst lush green lawns as Centre Court remains an emblematic stage for champions from around the globe. This remarkable image reminds us that even great institutions have humble beginnings – born from sweat-soaked brows and unwavering dedication – shaping history with every swing of a racket.
