1998 Cardigan Champion Coward Helen Moody Photographed Poker Rowland Tennis Times Visor Wills Wimbledon Miss
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, features the legendary American tennis champion Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998) in a casual moment off the court. Known for her unflappable demeanor and unyielding focus during matches, Wills Moody earned the nickname 'Little Miss Poker Face.' Here, she is seen in a relaxed setting with an unidentified woman, believed to be either Miss Coward or Miss Rowland. Helen Wills Moody's dominance in tennis is unparalleled, having won the Wimbledon championship an impressive eight times between 1927 and 1938. Her sunny disposition and elegant style, as evidenced by her cardigan and visor, contrasted sharply with her fierce competitive spirit on the court. As the sun sets on the background, the two women share a lighthearted moment, showcasing a side of Wills Moody that was not often seen by the public. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of a champion in her element, both on and off the tennis court. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich history of women in sports and the enduring legacy of Helen Wills Moody. It is a reminder that champions are not defined solely by their victories on the field but also by their ability to connect with others and find joy in life beyond the game.
