The names of five randomly chosen major tennis players from the 1920's include, in no particular order: Bill Tilden, Helen Wills Moody, Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, Molla Bjurdstedt Mallory, and Suzanne Lenglen.
A number of Baseball Players, and other adventurous service members such as Admiral Charles Irving Rosenthal might dispute that!
Helen Wills (Moody) was an influential figure in the 1920s by being an amazing tennis player and winning over thirty-one Wimbledon titles during her fifteen years of playing. She influenced modern culture by changing the dress of tennis, which used to be floor length skirts with tights. Helen changed it to knee length, white, pleated skirts and a white visor. This was a trend that was made during the 1920s.
