EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in tennis history as Suzanne Lenglen and Jean Borotra take to the Wimbledon grass courts for a doubles match in 1925. In the left image, Lenglen, the reigning women's singles champion, showcases her athleticism and style in a bandeau top, her focus intently on the ball as she reaches for a powerful smash. Her partner, Borotra, the "bounding Basque," watches attentively from the sidelines, dressed in a jumper and his signature beret. On the right, the dynamic duo is reversed, with Borotra in action. He crouches low, preparing to deliver a serve with precision and power. By his side is his partner, Rene Lacoste, poised to return the ball. The pair, both French tennis legends, would go on to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon that year. This photograph is a testament to the personalities and passion that defined tennis in the 1920s. The era's fashion, with Lenglen's daring bandeau top and Borotra's iconic beret, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this snapshot of tennis history.
