EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Kathleen McKane, also known as Kitty McKane Godfree (1896-1992), was a prominent tennis player from England and a formidable rival to the French tennis sensation, Suzanne Lenglen, during the 1920s. This photograph, taken in 1923, showcases the athletic grace and determination of the English hope as she focuses intently on the tennis court. With her tennis racquet poised, she wears an elegant white costume, complete with a fashionable headband, that was typical of the tennis attire of the era. The image exudes a sense of history and the excitement of the sport during this time. Kitty McKane Godfree's rise to prominence came at a time when women's tennis was gaining popularity and recognition. Her fierce competition with Suzanne Lenglen, who was considered the queen of French tennis, added to the allure and intensity of their matches. Their rivalry was a significant part of the tennis world in the 1920s, and their battles on the court were highly anticipated and closely followed by tennis enthusiasts around the world. This photograph is a testament to the athleticism, style, and spirit of the women's tennis players of the 1920s. It captures a moment in time when two remarkable athletes faced off against each other, pushing the boundaries of what was possible on the tennis court and inspiring generations of tennis players to come.
