EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense first round match between John McEnroe and Tom Gullikson at Wimbledon on Court Number One, taking place on Monday 22nd June 1981. The image tells a story of fiery emotions and heated exchanges that almost led to McEnroe's expulsion from the tournament. Despite being the number two seed, McEnroe found himself teetering on the edge as he received a public warning for his outburst. However, things escalated further when he vented his frustration by violently smashing his racket, stomping on its strings, and ripping off its handle. The consequences were severe as McEnroe was docked two penalty points for verbally attacking umpire Edward James with derogatory remarks such as "the pits of the world" and "an incompetent fool". Nevertheless, amidst this chaos, McEnroe managed to secure victory over Gullikson with a scoreline of 7-6,7-5,6-3.
