Suzanne: The Jazz Age Goddess Of Tennis

Binding: Hardcover
Description: One of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen was a woman few even remember. A championship player by the age of fifteen in a Europe overshadowed by impending war Suzanne Lenglen broke records for ticket sales and match winning streaks scandalised and entranced the public with her playing outfits and became a pioneer making friends and enemies throughout restrictive tennis society in the trailblazing jazz age. With stunning art and an astute eye Suzanne explores how a figure both enormously influential and too - often overlooked battled her father's ambition bias in sporting journalism and her own divisive personality to forge a new path - and to change sport forever.
