What a woman. How quickly the tennis gods erase the records of their gods and goddesses. Take note of what's going on now, to tell it to your grandchildren. We had a Father's Day call with my father-in-law tonight. He saw Alice Marble play in the old Chicago Stadium, and although he's over ninety he remembered every stroke.

I've known about Alice for awhile, but thought about writing about her only after hearing about Gottfried von Cramm. Both players led heroic lives apart from their on-court heroics. Luckily, there are many stories of daring-do about gentlemen who played tennis in longies and ladies who played wearing hats, not baseball caps. Thanks, everyone!

I'm sure most of today's women tennis players probably don't even know who Alice Marble is. I certainly didn't know much at all about her until your post. Kudos!
