Suzanne Lenglen, a French tennis player, was a dominant force in the sport in the 1920s. She held the top world ranking from 1921 to 1926 and secured numerous Grand Slam titles in both singles and doubles. Lenglen made significant contributions to women’s tennis by introducing a more aggressive playing style and incorporating fashion elements into her matches, notably her iconic bandeau headwear. Her decision to transition from amateur to professional play set the stage for future professional tennis tours.
