Championship Tennis of
1919

The net enthusiasts of 1919 were delighted to be able to read tennis articles once more following that long dry spell that began in the summer of 1914 and left them all with such a distaste that had only recently ended.

The editors of Leslie’s Weekly jumped into the first post-war tennis season with this article, titled “Tennis Again To The Fore” where they began to enthusiastically write of the great players of the sport; names like, Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1938)of France and Australia’s Norman Brooks (1877-1968) and Gerald L. Patterson (dates?)-who would all go on to dazzle and amaze the tennis world of the 1920s.
