Their tennis may not be up to Wimbledon standard, but this foursome would surely pack
Their tennis may not be up to Wimbledon standard, but this foursome would surely pack the centre court with fans. They are, left to right: disc jockey Pete Murray and singing stars Tony Bennett, Sacha Distel and Malcolm Roberts. The singers each challenged Pete to a game of tennis when they appeared on his radio show. So he is organising a little tournament for the quartet, with a trophy for the winner. The matches will be played at a secret venue, though. You know how these showbusiness types hate publicity. April 1972

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print from April 1972, we see a group of talented individuals who may not excel in tennis like the professionals at Wimbledon, but their star power is undeniable. Posing with beaming smiles and tennis rackets in hand, this foursome consists of disc jockey Pete Murray alongside singing sensations Tony Bennett, Sacha Distel, and Malcolm Roberts. During their appearance on Pete's radio show, the singers playfully challenged him to a game of tennis. Embracing the spirit of friendly competition and camaraderie, Pete has taken it upon himself to organize a small tournament for these entertainers. With an intriguing twist that adds an air of mystery to the event, the matches will be held at a secret venue – after all, showbusiness types often prefer to avoid unnecessary publicity. While their tennis skills might not reach professional standards, there is no doubt that this quartet would draw crowds if they were playing on center court at Wimbledon. The photograph captures a lighthearted moment among friends who are united by their love for music and now share a common interest in sports. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image serves as a delightful reminder of how even celebrities can find joy in playful competitions outside their usual realm of expertise.
