He was nicknamed 'the Crocodile' because of how he dealt with his opponents; he is also known worldwide as the creator of the Lacoste tennis shirt, which he introduced in 1929, and eventually founded the brand and its logo in 1933."

  Source; trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/19076421 From Trove; Tues. 27 Nov 1900 Albert Park Tennis Court In reply to a letter from the Brisbane Technical College Tennis Club, the Parks Committee of the Brisbane Municipal Council recommended that no objection be raised by the council to the moderate use of the double tennis court at Albert Park by the club, providing it does not interfere with the clubs already using the grounds. No exclusive privilege, however, could be granted.

Queensland Ladies Interstate Tennis Team, 1908

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sport in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were being built around the country and many new sport clubs were created.[1] One of the reasons women were encouraged to play croquet, tennis, and golf during the late 1800s was because it was seen as beneficial to their health. These sports were also seen as passive, non-aggressive, and non-threatening to the period's concepts of masculinity and femininity.[2]" Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Women%27s_tennis_in_Australia
