    I know the one with the trophy is Arthur Ashe but I'm lost on the rest minus Billie Jean Jing. Also, maybe somebody can decipher the name of the artist who painted it, thx in advance. tennis1.jpg tennis2.jpg tennis3.jpg tennis4.jpg tennis5.jpg

    I see Chrissy Evert in the red circle. A few more look familiar, but I don't remember their names. Knight maybe for the signature?

    Just to our left of Billie Jean King, mid-stride, is Jimmy Connors. Larger image, top right with the mustache, is likely Stan Smith, for whom the famous shoes are named.

    Upper right corner might be Ilie Nastasi.
    When I expand the photos it looks like a print of some sort.

    Possibly Martina Navratilova and Evonne Goolagong are the pair holding flowers.

    Middle right, guy with the dark hair/mustache/sideburns and long reach, could be John Newcombe.

    I thought she looked more like Sue Barker... but then it doesn't make sense that Chris Evert wouldn't be represented in such a montage.

    try taking a straight-on image and crop to poster edges. then you may be able to do an online image search...

    Exactly... a montage of top tennis players. Sorry, I thought that was obvious.

    Sue Barker only won the French once, I think the lady in the red circle looks more like Margaret Court.
