Remembering the match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. She defended the singles court and he defended the doubles court and she still had a challenge beating the old washed up male who was 25 years older.
End it until society finally screams that total equality of the sexes is insane
forget bobby rigs/billie jean king...what about renee richards?
Actually the Riggs/King match was legitimate, in that they were both defending the singles court.
Riggs, however, had defeated Margaret Court in May of that year, quite easily. At the time, Court was the #1 ranked woman in the world, while King was ranked at #2. Media never mentioned the Riggs/court match, much at all.
Eventually, the hype began for the Riggs/King match. To this day, I believe that match was designed to promote women’s tennis. Hype was unbelievable. I also think that Riggs (who had debts), may have thrown the match to make money, who knows. Anyway King won, and it set off a boom of sorts, in women’s tennis, which was the intent I’m certain.
You may have been thinking about a match in the early 90s between Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova. In that match, Connors defended a larger court, sort of a “halfway” increase, not the full doubles court, but larger than the singles court. Connors also only got one serve per point, rather than the customary two. Connors won the match something like 6-4, 6-3. But as an old gambler says.....”if you gotta handicap it, you already know who’s better”.
I didn’t know he was defending the doubles court; that kind of sheds a new light on that match.
