Plenty of antics occur both on and off the court at the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament – Wimbledon. Will the Queen be amused, or will she declare off with their heads?

At 1931 Wimbledon, young Americans Frank Shields and Sidney Wood rise to prominence both on and off the tennis courts. Only after one incident, they find themselves apologizing to Queen Mary before continuing their dominance in Men’s Singles.

Other people and subjects include: tennis courts, tiebreak, Jimmy “Henry” Van Alen, William “Sam” Van Alen, Jean Borotra, Bunny Austin, Brooke Shields, Wimbledon traditions, strawberries, and teammates.

Extra Notes / Call to Action:
