This evocative photograph captures an intimate moment between tennis legends Margot Lumb, Simonne Mathieu, and Helen Jacobs during the 1939 Wimbledon Championships. The image, taken in the height of the 1930s tennis boom, showcases the grace and elegance of these three formidable players as they pose together, each holding a tennis racket, their eyes filled with determination and focus. Margot Lumb, hailing from New Zealand, was known for her powerful serve and aggressive playing style. She reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 1937 and 1938, and was a consistent presence in the top ranks of women's tennis during the 1930s. French tennis sensation Simonne Mathieu, also known as Simone Mathieu, was a five-time Grand Slam singles champion and a dominant force in women's tennis during the late 1930s. She won the French Championships a record eight times and reached the Wimbledon final in 1937, where she lost to Helen Jacobs. Helen Jacobs, an American player, was a three-time Grand Slam singles champion and the reigning Wimbledon champion in 1939. She was known for her strong forehand and tenacious playing style, and was a formidable opponent for any player on the tour. The trio is seen here in casual attire, with Teddy Tinling, the famous tennis fashion designer, in the background. The relaxed atmosphere of the scene contrasts with the intense competition these players faced on the court, highlighting the camaraderie and friendship that existed between them despite their fierce rivalries. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of women's tennis in the 1930s and the enduring legacy of these three remarkable players. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era in sports history and the passion, skill, and determination that defined the game during that time.
