Nostalgic pictures of playing tennis in Oxfordshire
The world’s premier tennis tournament has returned to the celebrated courts at Wimbledon, so we’ve returned to the archive to look back at some of Oxfordshire’s own players over time.
This archive gallery features images from the last decade of people on the courts – and admittedly, some of them at the table too, playing table tennis.

Youngsters holding rackets and clubs for senior players feature equally in this nostalgic gallery.
There’s even a picture of former Prime Minister David Cameron taking to the court at Witney Tennis Club, where he had a hit with some of the club’s members.
Take a look back through this nostalgic gallery to inspire you for this year’s Wimbledon tournament.
