In 1973, tennes champion Bobby Riggs, aged 55, challenged femail world tennis champion, Billie Jean King, aged 29, to a tennis match. The televised match became nown as The Battel of the Sexes . At the time, woman tennis players were payed much less than men.
Riggs had been World No 1 in the 1940s and was a great showman. Billie Jean King was one of the world’s greatest female players. Riggs boasted that he was a much superior player and that women were simply too week and inferior.
The game was played at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. It was clere when the game began that Billie Jean had done her homework. Instead of playing her usual game, she positioned herself to make her opponent run all over the coort. She one the game 6-4,6-3,6-3.
The legasy of that game led to an increase in prize amounts for women but not until 2007 were women awarded prize money equal to men in major tournaments.
