Alice Marble (1913-1990), a trailblazing tennis player, is depicted here in her prime, alongside her esteemed partner, Donald Budge. Marble was the first woman in history to achieve the remarkable feat of winning both the US Open and Wimbledon singles titles in the same year, an accomplishment she accomplished in 1937. Additionally, she made history by pioneering the wearing of shorts for tennis, first in 1932, and again in 1950. Marble's groundbreaking contributions extended beyond her athletic achievements. She was a vocal advocate for equality and inclusion in sports, speaking out in support of black tennis player Althea Gibson and encouraging the public to accept black and homosexual tennis players into the game. Her pioneering spirit and unwavering commitment to equality continue to inspire generations of athletes and sports enthusiasts. Donald Budge, a formidable player in his own right, is also shown here in the cover photograph. Together, Marble and Budge formed an unbeatable team in the world of tennis doubles, with a partnership that produced numerous victories and accolades.
