(Cuthbert Collingwood) Ted Tinling (June 23 1910 - May 23 1990), sometimes known as Teddy Tinling, was a British tennis player, fashion designer, spy and Author. He was a firm fixture on the professional tennis tour for over sixty years. Tinling designed dresses for almost all of the great lady players throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It was a design in 1949 - lace tennis panties - that led him to being asked to take leave from his position at Wimbledon.
