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.
Picture taken 13th June 1935
