Editing Suzanne Lenglen (section)

===World War I hiatus===
After World War I began in August 1914, tournaments ceased, interfering with Lenglen's father's plan for her to enter Wimbledon in 1915. During the war, Lenglen's family lived at their home in Nice, an area less affected by the war than northern France. Although there were no tournaments, Lenglen had plenty of opportunity to train in Nice. Soldiers came to the Riviera to temporarily avoid the war, including leading tennis players such as two-time United States national champions [[R. Norris Williams]] and [[Clarence Griffin]]. These players competed in charity exhibitions primarily in [[Cannes]] to raise money for the [[French Red Cross]]. Lenglen participated and had the opportunity to play singles matches against male players.{{sfn|Little|2007|pp=10–11}}{{sfn|Engelmann|1988|pp=16–17}}
