EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the intense focus and determination of American tennis legend, Helen Wills Moody, as she graces the cover of Tatler magazine in 1933. Born in California in 1905, Wills Moody was a formidable force on the tennis court, winning a total of 31 Grand Slam titles throughout her career. She is best known for her eight victories at Wimbledon, a feat that earned her the nickname "Little Miss Poker Face" due to her unreadable expression during matches. In this image, Wills Moody's steely gaze is fixed on the horizon as she dons a sun visor, a piece of equipment she championed for its ability to shield her from the sun's glare. The visor, along with her sleek white tennis outfit and racket, accentuate her athletic physique and underline her status as a pioneering figure in the sport. The photograph's high contrast and dramatic lighting create an air of mystery and intrigue, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to delve deeper into the life and legacy of this remarkable woman. With her unwavering focus and unyielding spirit, Helen Wills Moody continues to inspire tennis players and fans alike, more than eight decades after this iconic cover shoot.
