SUZANNE LENGLEN - TENNIS IDOL OF THE TWENTIES is about the extraordinary life and career of the French star who won Wimbledon six times between 1919 and 1926 and was never beaten in singles during her adult tennis career. The customer who bought the book asked where Suzanne would rate in the all-time list of great women players. He said she must surely be in the top four or five. My reply, based on the opinions of those I respect, past and present, was that there was only one question: whether Suzanne was the outright all-time No.1, or jointly held that honour with Martina Navratilova.

New 2015 Summer Tournaments October 31 2014

A couple of years ago the All England Lawn Tennis Club announced that, following extensive consultation with player organisations around the world, The Championships would be moved a week later in the professional tournament schedule from 2015 onwards. The monthly pages of the new 2015 TENNIS GALLERY WIMBLEDON CALENDAR show the new dates at the start of each week, not just for Wimbledon but for all the tournaments affected, and the calendar has a helpful and informative summary of the changes and how they will affect your summer tennis watching.

The new calendar will be available on 1 December 2014, and ADVANCE ORDERS are being accepted now.


Wimbledon 1985 and 1986 October 27 2014

If you are finding it hard to track down a particular tennis book, please let us know and we will do our best to find it for you.

Little Signs October 22 2014

Wimbledon's Honorary Librarian ALAN LITTLE showed modest surprise yesterday when asked to sign another batch of copies of his new book for Tennis Gallery Wimbledon customers.  The book is entitled THE GOLDEN DAYS OF TENNIS ON THE FRENCH RIVIERA 1874-1939 and weighs in at a solid 1.7 kilograms. Alan's modesty is refreshing in these days when self-promotion is the norm for many authors, and the reason his new book is so popular is easy to see. The tournaments at NICE, CANNES and MONTE CARLO in the late 19th and early 20th centuries attracted fashionable, well-to-do people from all over the world to watch and play, and this glamorous heritage remains part of tennis's unique appeal today. We think Alan will be asked to sign a lot more books in the weeks and months to come!

200 Books & 100 Films October 18 2014

We have just acquired a marvellous collection of tennis books and films, and we are in the process of sorting through and cataloging them. There are some great titles including Jack Kramer's THE GAME, Andre Agassi's OPEN and biographies and autobiographies of Ilie Nastase, Arthur Ashe, Martina Navratilova, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and many, many more. The collection includes yearbooks and annuals, including a complete set of Wimbledon official annuals from 1983 to 2011. There are scarce Wimbledon official films too, some on DVD but most on VHS cassettes, and we will be contacting people with news of items they have asked us to find. The books are in the gallery right now, so come along today if you want to see them before they go on sale on the website.

Book Problem Solved! September 09 2014

Last Friday the first batch of WIMBLEDON 2014 Official Annuals arrived, but we found that some of the books had ill-fitting dustjackets. We know how important it is for our customers to receive books in 100% perfect condition, so we reported the problem to the distributor and today replacement copies arrived.
