Riggs was a notorious hustler and gambler.

He would challenge unsuspecting players who thought they were pretty good. He would do such things as play while holding a suitcase in one hand. Play using some odd piece of equipment in place of a racket.

Those guys did not realize he was the 1939 Wimbledon champ.

"Riggs was a notorious hustler and gambler."

...and sweet mild-mannered man-eater, Chris Evert has had three husbands, three divorces...plus an early affair with Jimmy Connors resulting in a pregnancy....and an abortion which was against his will.
