NY Times obituary

Accused of "bringing vulgarity and sin into tennis" when she wore a Teddy Tinling-designed above-the-knee skirt and lacy knickers at Wimbledon in 1949. The article also suggests her last years weren't too comfortable, unfortunately.

Regards,
MDL

Wow, it's good to know the players of the early generations.
She wasn't bad looking either.

May she be remembered.
