Roland Garros Re-Lived: Suzanne Lenglen

In this episode of Tennis Re-Lived we venture back one hundred years to cover the remarkable career and life of tennis’ first superstar, Suzanne Lenglen, whose name now adorns the second show court at Roland Garros.

We talk about her upbringing by an overbearing father, how the war both delayed her career and created a world which was ready for her, the extraordinary records she achieved in amateur tennis, her boundary breaking fashion choices, the reasons why she was so famous, her controversial decision to turn professional, and her lasting legacy in tennis.

Along the way we cover some of the landmark moments of her career, including her memorable first and last appearances at Wimbledon, her ill-fated trip to America in 1921, and her match of the century against Helen Wills in 1926.

The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts. It is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments. It is crowdfunded by listeners each December.

Coming soon: Roland Garros Re-Lived: Jim Courier and daily French Open podcasts.
