#sundaythoughts 🇫🇷 • billiejeanking On what would have been the first day of the 2020 rolandgarros, I’m remembering Suzanne Lenglen on what is also her birthday. Known as “The Goddess,” she was an early disrupter, 6x wimbledon champ, and won a total of 8 Grand Slam singles titles. Suzanne was known for attacking the net and playing with aggression and flair. Her trademark outfit included a bandeau on her head and what was considered scandalous clothing for the era. She was also very popular and played in front of sell-out crowds, and afterward would be featured on the front pages of newspapers for her matches. Suzanne is often considered the first female athlete to become a worldwide celebrity. Suzanne was also an early feminist & advocate for fair pay for athletes. She died at just 39 years young. 🇫🇷 #HistoryMatters #RememberHerName #SuzanneLenglen #TennisHistory #sundaythoughts
