Kim Clijsters (born 8 June 1983) is a Belgian tennis player who competed professionally from 1997 to 2012. A former world No. 1 in both singles and doubles, she won four Grand Slam singles titles, including three US Open championships. Together with Justine Henin, she established Belgium as a force in women's tennis, leading their country to its first Fed Cup crown in 2001. Clijsters won forty-one Women's Tennis Association (WTA) singles titles, including three WTA Tour Championships. After retiring at the age of 23, Clijsters returned to tennis and won a record-tying three Grand Slam singles titles as a mother on the way to becoming the only mother to be ranked No. 1 in singles by the WTA. She was known for her athleticism, in particular her ability to perform splits on court in the middle of points. Clijsters won the Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship Award eight times. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017. (Full article...)

Lenglen hitting her signature leaping volley

Suzanne Lenglen (1899–1938) was a French tennis player. One of the sport's biggest stars and the dominant women's tennis player right after World War I, Lenglen was the inaugural world No. 1 and a six-time Wimbledon singles champion. After the war, she only had one singles loss and was undefeated in doubles with Elizabeth Ryan. Her popularity stemmed from her becoming a world champion at age 15, her unusual balletic playing style, her brash personality, and prominent press coverage that portrayed her as infallible at tennis. Lenglen had a wide impact on the sport. She was the first leading amateur to turn professional and her 1926 pro tour in the United States laid the foundation for the next four decades of men's pro tennis. She incorporated fashion into the game and popularised sportswear to supplant the norm of women competing in corsets. Wimbledon moved to its current venue to accommodate her popularity. Court Suzanne Lenglen at the French Open is named in her honour. (Full article...)

Judit Polgár

There are 40 female chess players who hold the title of Grandmaster (GM), the highest title awarded by the International Chess Federation (FIDE). To be awarded the GM title, modern regulations typically require players to achieve a FIDE rating of 2500 and have a GM-level performance at three tournaments. Such a performance is called a norm, and a GM norm corresponds to a performance rating of at least 2600. Nona Gaprindashvili was the first woman to become a GM in 1978, largely by virtue of being the first woman to achieve a GM norm a year earlier. Susan Polgar and her younger sister Judit Polgár (pictured) both became GMs in 1991. Susan was the first to achieve the title through a complete set of standard norms, while Judit became the youngest GM in history overall, breaking Bobby Fischer's record. China has the most female GMs, and seven countries have had multiple female GMs. Every female GM is from Europe or Asia except Irina Krush of the United States. (Full list...)
