EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of Lili de Alvarez, a trailblazing Spanish tennis player, as she arrives in London for the prestigious Wimbledon championship in 1927. Dressed in her tennis whites and carrying a large, plush toy dog as her mascot, Lili exudes confidence and determination. Born in Madrid in 1905, Lili, also known as "Elia" or "Lily," quickly made a name for herself on the European tennis circuit. Her unique playing style, characterized by her powerful strokes and quick reflexes, earned her a devoted following. As Lili prepared for the Wimbledon championship, she brought with her a lucky charm to help her succeed - a huge stuffed toy dog. The mascot, which she affectionately named "Star," became an integral part of her tennis journey. The photograph shows Lili stepping off the boat with Star in tow, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. Her infectious energy and playful demeanor are on full display as she poses for the camera, with Star resting at her feet. This image is a testament to the resilience and determination of women in sport during a time when gender roles were strictly defined. Lili's unapologetic embrace of her quirky mascot and her unwavering commitment to her sport paved the way for future generations of sportswomen to challenge conventions and pursue their passions with unbridled enthusiasm. Taken on August 17, 1927, this photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on the world of tennis.
