Australian Win... On Doubles Day At Wimbledon : This striking action picture, taken in the fifth exciting set of their match on the Centre Court at Wimbledon here on Doubles Day, shows O.W. Sidwell of Australia, his muscles taut and strained, his face set, as he leaps to smash back a ball to J. Drobny (Czechoslovakia) and Bob Falkenburg (U. S.) while his fellow-Australian partner G.E. Brown looks anxiously on. The Australian won the match - played in temperature reaching into the eighties as the heat wave continues to sweep across Britain - in five sets. June 28, 1949.
