1939 ALICE MARBLE RACES TO THE WIMBLEDON TITLE
The tennis champion with multiple lives – comic book editor, sports reporter, equality activist and World War II spy
During the late 1930s, one name dominated the world of women’s tennis: Alice Marble. Aggressive and always on the attack, the American won 18 Grand Slam titles. Furthermore, in all her time competing in the Wightman Cup, she only lost a solitary match in both the singles and doubles.
