Suzanne Lenglen, the court of liberty

Having won 250 tournaments, including 83 without losing a single game, 3 Olympic medals, 6 Wimbledon titles and only suffered 7 defeats, Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1938) left an indelible mark on world tennis. Away from the court, the French tennis player was also a feminist icon and talented writer.
