MAHONY, height 32cm., 12 1/2in., weight 780gr. 27 1/2 oz. At this time the reigning Wimbledon champion, which in this case was Wilfred Baddeley, received a bye straight to the final. The 'All Comers' then had to battle their way through the knockout rounds to win the right to challenge the champion. In 1896 H.S. Mahony defeated Reginald Doherty, W Castle, Frank Riseley and Harold Nisbet before defeating Wilberforce Eaves 6-2, 6-2, 11-9 to win the All Comers Final for which he received this magnificent cup. He then defeated the reigning champion Wilfred Baddeley in five sets 6-2, 6-8, 5-7, 8-6, 6-3 to be crowned Gentlemen's Singles Champion. Mahony received a gold medal for his victory which recently sold at auction for £24,000.
