EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a young and determined Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998) in the semi-final round of the Junior Championship at Forest Hills in 1917. At just 12 years old, Helen was already making a name for herself in the world of tennis, and this historic image showcases her focus and dedication to the sport that would later earn her eight Wimbledon championship titles. Helen's distinctive eye shade or sun visor, which she introduced to the lawn tennis court, can be seen in this photograph, adding an intriguing touch to her youthful appearance. The visor, a precursor to modern-day athletic gear, was a practical solution to the harsh sunlight that often hindered players' vision during matches. As one of the greatest tennis players in history, Helen Wills Moody's impact on the sport is undeniable. Her impressive career spanned over three decades, and her legendary status was solidified with her eight Wimbledon titles between 1920 and 1938. This photograph, taken during her formative years, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a tennis champion in the making. The image transports us back to a time when tennis was just beginning to gain widespread popularity, and the game's most celebrated players were making history on the grass courts of Forest Hills. This portrait of a young Helen Wills Moody is a testament to her unwavering passion for tennis and her place in the annals of tennis history.
