Before long, many fine athletes will make their way to Flushing Meadows Park, where they will toss tennis balls and smash them across courts with great passion.

And in honor of the US Open’s imminent arrival, we took the opportunity to... well, present you with a bunch of attractive women wearing visors.

Yeah.

We’re calling it Women in Visors: A Retrospective. It’s an important journey (read: a slideshow) chronicling the glory years of women donning the most important headwear in tennis history.

It’s comprehensive. It’s visually pleasing. It’s relevant enough.

Visors, your time has come.
