Helen Wills, 1929 (Johan Hagemeyer)




Wills was “the most dominant tennis player of the 20th century and the first American-born woman to achieve international celebrity as an athlete.
She won the first of her 19 Grand Slam singles titles as a 17-year-old in 1923 [and] retired from tennis altogether in 1938 after winning a record eighth Wimbledon title at age 32. That record remained until 1990, when Martina Navratilova captured her ninth singles championship at Wimbledon.” (NYT)
