Fred Perry plays an overhead shot on The Centre Court at
The Mens Wimbledon Tennis Championship.
It is not 100 percent clear what match this was, owing to the
dates on the card against events in this first Wimbledon week. But it was either Fred Perry playing Richard Williams of the USA in the second round (Fred won 6-2 6-2 6 -0) or Charles Tuckey of Great Britain in the first round. (Fred won 6-2 6-2 5-7 6-0)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary Fred Perry in action on The Centre Court at The Men's Wimbledon Tennis Championship. With his intense focus and impeccable form, Perry executes a powerful overhead shot that leaves spectators in awe. The exact match depicted in this photograph remains somewhat of a mystery due to conflicting dates on the card against events during the first week of Wimbledon. However, it is believed to be either Perry's second-round match against Richard Williams of the USA, which he won convincingly with a scoreline of 6-2 6-2 6-0, or his first-round encounter with Charles Tuckey from Great Britain, where Perry emerged victorious after an exhilarating battle lasting five sets. Taken circa June 24th to June 26th in 1934, this image transports us back to the golden era of tennis when players donned long trousers and wooden racquets graced the grass courts. Perry's athleticism and skill shine through as he stretches every sinew while wielding his trusty tennis racket. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at Fred Perry's contribution to the sport and his enduring legacy as one of tennis' greatest sportsmen. This print by Malindine serves as a testament to both the timeless allure of Wimbledon and Perry's remarkable talent on display for all generations to appreciate.
