Identify the two people in the foreground.Answer: The guy in the umpire chair is Teddy Tinling, a tennis player/fashion designer and the woman facing him is the American tennis player Gertrude Moran who wore a dress designed by Teddy for the 1949 Wimbledon. She created quite a stir with an outfit short enough for her knickers to be visible, a first for any kind of tennis tournament. The press quickly dubbed her "Gorgeous" Gussie and the event caused such an uproar that it was discussed in the British parliament and got Tinling banned from the all England Lawn Club for 33 years. Ramki, Krithi and Jaggi got it. Well done.
