The year is 1923, and the atmosphere is electric as the two athletic competitors face off in a fierce battle of skill and determination. Mlle Lenglen, the French sensation, is depicted in four photographs, her pleated white skirt swirling around her as she gracefully maneuvers her racquet in a fluid, powerful motion. Her focused expression and white headband add to her regal and determined demeanor. In the fifth photograph, we see Miss McKane, representing England, poised and ready at the net, her intense gaze locked on her opponent.
