EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Triumph: Alice Marble and Jean Nicoll on the Cover of Tatler, 1939 This striking photograph captures the intensity and excitement of a tennis match between American champion Alice Marble and sixteen-year-old British prodigy Jean Nicoll. The image graced the front cover of Tatler magazine in September 1939, just as the shadows of war were beginning to loom over Europe. Alice Marble, dressed in shorts and a crisp shirt, is shown extending a gracious handshake to her young opponent, Jean Nicoll, at the net. The teenager, with a determined look in her eyes, had managed to take an impressive fourteen games off the US champion in their match. Nicoll was considered the most promising junior tennis player in Great Britain prior to the Second World War, and this encounter with the reigning queen of the sport was a significant moment in her budding career. Despite her early promise, Nicoll's life took a tragic turn. She later became a successful table tennis player, but her struggles with mental health and addiction led to her untimely death by barbiturates overdose at the age of forty-two. This photograph, a testament to the spirit of competition and the enduring allure of sports, stands as a poignant reminder of the lives and stories that intersect on the tennis court and beyond.
