Activity 2: Sporting Heroes
On your blog tell us about your sporting hero. Who are they? Why are they a hero? Include a photo of them in your blog post.
Anthony "Tony" Frederick Wilding (31 October 1883 – 9 May 1915) was a former world No. 1 tennis player from Christchurch, New Zealand, and a soldier killed in action during World War I. Wilding was the son of wealthy English immigrants to New Zealand and enjoyed the use of private tennis courts at their home.
He is a hero because he was put into the international Tennis Hall of fame in 1978 and he had the Wilding tennis racket named after him.
