Product Details

No, you’re not seeing double. It’s just boys and girls learning the backhand at a free clinic in 1967 at the West Side Tennis Club in Queens. The club owned the historic Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, home to the U.S. Open for more than 60 years. The tournament moved to the National Tennis Center in Flushing, three miles away, in 1978.

The horseshoe-shaped Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, located in a stately Queens neighborhood, opened in 1923 and could pack in 14,000 spectators, making it one of the great meccas of tennis. Besides the national tennis championship, it was a concert venue where the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix performed.

Movie fans might remember the stadium for its appearances in the 1951 Alfred Hitchcock film “Strangers on a Train” and Wes Anderson’s 2001 “The Royal Tenenbaums.”

This made-to-order image is printed on giclée archival photo paper and is available framed or unframed. Framed photography comes ready to hang with a removable wire attached to the back. Choose from a lightweight ayous wood or a gold or silver metal frame to customize the frame best suited to your space. The print comes from The New York Times’s extensive archives, known as the “morgue,” which houses more than five million photographic prints that date back to 1905. It is available exclusively from The Times Store.
