WIMBLEDON is set to get underway on Monday, with the world’s biggest stars flocking to SW19.
Ahead of the Championships, Instagram’s The AI Dreams has mocked up a series of images depicting what legends past and present would have looked like as babies.
Picture 1… this elegant star will always be the All-England Club’s favourite
Picture 2… Fans flocked to SW19 in their droves to watch this star in his prime
Picture 3… The men’s GOAT race is hotly-disputed, the women’s is far more clear
Picture 4… This serial winner has not tasted defeat on Centre Court since 2013
Using artificial intelligence, the Instagram artist has produced images of the tennis tots in their kits as if they were playing as youngsters.
Many of them sported cheesy grins in the images.
Others wore classic tennis polos, with some also donning jackets or even cardigans.
All appeared on court, with many also clutching racquets.
Picture 1 depicts an eight-time Wimbledon champion, a man that will always be in many fans’ hearts.
While Picture 2 shows a man whose natural style and flair made the sport effortlessly cool in his era, before his shock initial retirement aged 26.
Picture 3 features undoubtedly the greatest woman to ever play the sport, no debate required.
And Picture 4 illustrates a tennis warrior that has staggeringly not lost on Centre Court since 2013.
Picture 5… This rising star will hope not to be ‘bullied’ at Wimbledon this year
Picture 6… This fan favourite sported a wide range of haircuts in his career
Picture 7… More at home on clay, this superstar has also made a habit of winning plenty of matches on grass
Picture 8… This superstar surely wouldn’t mind being 17 again at SW19
Picture 9… You should seriously know who this star is
Picture 5 depicts a man that will hope to advance beyond round four at the All-England Club for the first time.
And Picture 6 shows a much-beloved star, eyebrows and all, with no hair… or wig.
In Picture 7 we see a man more renowned for his clay court prowess, although that’s not to say he’s not won plenty on grass.
While Picture 8 illustrates a woman who peaked at Wimbledon aged just 17.
And if you cannot get who is depicted in Picture 9, well, you cannot be serious.
