U.S. legends featured in Billie Jean King Cup Finals photo exhibit

GLASGOW, Scotland -- Those strolling down Glasgow’s famed Argyle Street this week have a chance to see some of the most famous faces of U.S. and global women’s tennis come to life.

The past and present of the sport meet in “She Rallies: Women’s Tennis is Focus,” a pop-up photo exhibit that chronicles women’s tennis through the ages is taking center stage on one of the city’s main thoroughfares during this week’s Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Finals. Presented through a partnership between the LTA—the national governing body for tennis in Great Britain—and Getty Images, the exhibit launched on Nov. 1 and will run throughout the duration of the Finals from Nov. 8-13.

The exhibit features black-and-white photos from the sport’s earliest days all the way through snapshots of stars of the present—all in an effort to chronicle how far women’s tennis has come, and how far it can still go.

“Our 'She Rallies' ambition is to inspire women and girls into the sport through increased and better female representation, driving greater visibility of women’s tennis reflective of its status as a leading women’s sport,” LTA chief operating officer Julie Porter said.

"Getty Images was a natural partner in this project, building on our longstanding relationship and the work they have been undertaking in raising the profile of authentic and inclusive representation of women in sport.”

U.S. tennis fans will no doubt recognize several of the iconic photographs on display. American game-changers featured in the exhibit include Althea Gibson, Billie Jean King, Monica Seles, and Serena and Venus Williams.
