So in 1973 she beat Bobby Riggs, a 55 year old tennis player who retired from singles pro competition in 1955.
If she played any of the top ten male pros in 1973, it would have been no contest she would have decisively LOST!
Yes, the whole thing was obviously a staged event.
Anyone who was fooled by it was dumb, dumb, dumb.
When it was announced I already knew what “the outcome” of the “game” would be.
It was ridiculous.
Riggs threw the match to pay off his gambling debts.
He THREW the game...imho.
