New book explores tennis and fashion ties

Sunita Kumar Nair examines the longstanding connection between tennis and style in her upcoming book ACE: The Times & Style of Tennis. The work traces influences from early players to modern athletes and designers.

The book highlights French player Suzanne Lenglen, known as La Divina, who competed in the 1910s and 1920s. She won six Wimbledon titles and influenced fashion by wearing a Patou-designed dress at the 1919 tournament that allowed greater movement than traditional attire.
