Suzanne Lenglen: The first diva of tennis

Suzanne Lenglen, the French Open's favourite flapper drank alcohol on court, smoked "furiously" and horrified the establishment with her daring outfits, "unladylike" playing style and highly-publicized affairs. She played hard and died far too young.

"After all of the suffering that the French people had gone through in the First World War, suddenly there was the emergence of this girl, this young woman who is a very dominating figure in a very popular sport."
