EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Champion's Smile: Helen Wills, the 'Queen of Tennis,' in Her Prime". This delightful cartoon by Matt captures the spirit and charisma of Helen Wills Moody, an American tennis legend who dominated the sport in the 1920s and 1930s. Born on October 6, 1900, in California, Wills began her tennis career at a young age and quickly rose to prominence, becoming the first American woman to win the Wimbledon singles title in 1926. In this charming illustration, Matt playfully depicts Wills as the "Queen of Tennis," a fitting title given her impressive record of 19 Grand Slam titles, including seven Wimbledon singles championships and six U.S. National Championships. The cartoon, published in the International News Photo, Inc. (INP) in June 1924, captures Wills' confident and graceful demeanor both on and off the court. At just 21 years old, Wills was already a seasoned athlete and a favorite among fans and critics alike. Her powerful serve, precise footwork, and unwavering focus made her a formidable opponent, and her winning streak, which lasted for over three years, cemented her place in tennis history. This cartoon, with its lighthearted and humorous touch, offers a glimpse into the personality and charm of one of the greatest tennis players of all time. As we celebrate her achievements and her enduring legacy, we are reminded of the passion and dedication that drove Helen Wills Moody to become a true champion.
