EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of tennis history as French tennis sensation Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1934) pays a courteous curtsey to Her Majesty Queen Mary (1867-1953) on the hallowed Centre Court at Wimbledon in 1926. The year prior, Lenglen had etched her name in the annals of tennis lore by winning the ladies' singles championship with an unparalleled dominance, marking her sixth and final title at the prestigious tournament. The image exudes an air of elegance and grace, as the regal Queen Mary, dressed in a beautiful gown and adorned with the Order of the Garter, extends her hand in warm greeting to the victorious sportswoman. Lenglen, clad in her white tennis attire, displays a radiant smile, reflecting the pride and accomplishment of her remarkable achievement. This meeting between a tennis legend and a member of the British royalty underscores the growing popularity of the sport and its increasing integration into the realm of high society. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Wimbledon and the indomitable spirit of its champions, who continue to inspire generations of tennis enthusiasts.
