There must be such a sense of history as a player walking onto Centre Court at Wimbledon knowing that Suzanne Lenglen and every legend of tennis has played in it.
La première Star du tennis féminin. Elle a révolutionné le tennis par son jeu ultra offensif,son élégance, son avant gardisme. Des rois et des reines assistaient à ses matchs.
Don't count on it. Important tennis matches, if they were filmed at all, were filmed by newsreel companies. They weren't interested in recording full matches--just enough for a few minutes of film. This was the case well into the 1960s.
Unique backhand and my God, those jumps are so unusual for girls today. I would say she was ahead of her time. Incredible and at the same time funny how she played. IMHO!
la lenglen è stata la prima donna ad allenarsi ! i risultati si sono visti in 10 anni perse un solo incontro per ritiro! quindi in realtà non perse mai! certo era un altro tennis ci mancherebbe! oggi che le donne hanno dimostrato anche in altri sport che non sono queste cosine fragili dovrebbero introdurre almeno nelle finali dei grandi slam le partite in cinque set come si faceva negli anni 10(c'è un ul7/5 al quinto) del secolo scorso nelle finali degli open degli stati uniti!
She is more fun to watch than any of the girls of 2024. Out of all the matches in Roland Garros, there was maybe one match worth watching. I think it is a scandal that they get paid the sale as men. I smile when I see the stadium half empty when the women play, thank you it is only three sets at the most.
@@reekhavoc2932 even took sips of brandy between ends during her matches. Died really young in 1938 of leukaemia aged 39. She came under fire from the Tennis World for going professional in 1926 and the open letter she wrote in response is as brilliant as it is scathing, directed towards the smug, entitled elites who looked down their noses at those who were not born into a world of privilege and social connection, who sought to make a living out of their talent.
Back then they ate natural food. Today our food is laden with preservatives. The preservatives not only preserve the food but they preserve us also. Only a fool would choose to eat organic.
