WATCH: The story behind Court Suzanne Lenglen

Court Suzanne Lenglen has been the stage for many battles this fortnight, but who is the woman the famous court is named after?

Lenglen was a dominant French player in the 1920s, and one of the first international sports stars ever. She won 241 titles, and strung together a 181-match win streak, making her one of the best players in history, if not the best player ever. During her career, she lost just seven matches.

She won 12 Grand Slam titles, including six French Opens. She was a gold medalist at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp.

The women's championship trophy is also named after Lenglen.

Lenglen was famous for her style and became tennis' first fashion icon. In a time when women wore long skirts, she wore short silk skirts, sleeveless cardigans, stockings with garters and bandanas, and preferred bright colors to the custom whites. She wasn't afraid to express herself or show emotion on court either when tennis was still very much a proper, polite game.

Lenglen died in 1938 at the age of 39 of pernicious anemia after being diagnosed with leukemia.
