Concerning Bobby Rigg vs Billie Jean King.

Before he lost to Billie Jean King, Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Court who was a top female tennis player of that era.

Additionally, Riggs had to play with a handicap, Riggs played the doubles court and the women played the singles court.

Flip that. Riggs had to play the singles court while King played the doubles lines.

Didn’t he beat Billie Jean King the first time?
