Ladies’ Tennis (1920-1930)

Ladies’ tennis. Location of events unknown / unclear, possibly Wimbledon. Greater London. Wide shots woman player Suzanne Lenglen (?) serving and returning balls; spectators seated in background. In some shots we can see male player on next court; maybe this is practise rather than real match? MS Lenglen hitting more serves and volleys. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
