Gussie Moran, who has died aged 89, was a tennis player who shocked the stuffy All England Club at Wimbledon but delighted photographers when she ditched the knee-length outfit considered appropriate in the 1940s in favour of a much shorter skirt that showed off her lacy underwear. After the move she was labelled Gorgeous Gussie.
