TFA blurb review
Suzanne Lenglen was a French tennis player, the inaugural women's world No. 1 from 1921 to 1926. She won 8 Grand Slam titles in singles and 21 in total. She was a four-time World Hard Court Champion in singles, and ten times in total. Lenglen won six Wimbledon singles titles and was the champion in singles, doubles and mixed doubles at the first two open French Championships. She was the youngest major champion in history, aged 15. After World War I she was largely unchallenged, achieving a 179-match win streak during which she defeated Helen Wills in the "Match of the Century" in 1926. Following a misunderstanding at Wimbledon later that year, she retired from amateur tennis, becoming the first leading amateur to turn professional. Lenglen is recognised as the first female athlete to become a global sport celebrity. She integrated the aggressive style of men's tennis into the women's game and incorporated practical and fashionable clothing, highlighted by her signature bandeau headwear.

Hi and anyone else interested: a draft blurb for this article is above. Thoughts, comments and edits are welcome. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:38, 9 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Gog, I had already set up a draft on the TFA page. I thought that was where I was supposed to put it. I could move it here, but also figure it might be fine to leave it there? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 15:55, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
