About this audio guide
This guide to DIVA in Antwerp starts from an odd object among the brooches and silver: a tennis racket set with diamonds. It follows the years when the city's Sportpaleis tournaments dangled jewelled gold rackets in front of the world's best players, and a rule that made winning one far from simple. Ivan Lendl, John McEnroe, Amélie Mauresmo and Kim Clijsters all turn up, along with a farewell match that did not go to plan for the home crowd.
