Fred Perry playing doubles lawn tennis.
It is not clear as to the actual match, or training session, but in this week in 1935 Fred Perry was competing in The Davis Cup in Beckenham, South East London, England.
In his team was Bunny Austin, who may possibly be the other player on court here, but is obscured by Perry so we cannot confirm it is him.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a moment in history, capturing the legendary Fred Perry engaged in a game of doubles lawn tennis. The exact circumstances surrounding this image remain shrouded in mystery, leaving us to wonder whether it was taken during an intense match or a rigorous training session. However, we do know that it was captured during the Davis Cup held in Beckenham, South East London, England in 1935. Fred Perry's formidable presence on the court is undeniable as he showcases his exceptional skills and agility. His powerful backhand shot demonstrates why he became one of the most celebrated tennis players of his time. While it is difficult to ascertain who his partner might be due to their obscured figure, speculation suggests that Bunny Austin could potentially be sharing the court with him. Transporting us back to an era when grass courts were prevalent at prestigious tournaments like Wimbledon, this photograph encapsulates both the grace and intensity of tennis during the 1930s. The timeless appeal of this image lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to evoke nostalgia for a bygone era. Tomlin's expertly captured snapshot allows us to relive a moment frozen in time—a testament to Fred Perry's enduring legacy as one of tennis' all-time greats.
