"Bobby Riggs had been one of the world's top tennis players in the 1940s; he once held the number 1 ranking and had won six major titles during his career. After he retired from professional tennis in 1951, Riggs remained a master promoter of himself and of tennis.[1] In 1973, he saw an opportunity, the rise of the feminist movement, to make money and to elevate the popularity of a sport he loved. He opined that the female game was inferior and that even at his current age of 55 he could still beat any of the top female players.[2] Riggs first challenged Billie Jean King, but when she declined, Margaret Court stepped in. At the time Court was 30 years old and the top female player in the world. On the day of their match, May 13, 1973, 5000 fans came to Mother's Day match in Ramona, California. Bobby Riggs came out on court and presented Margaret Court with Mother's Day flowers; which she accepted and curtsied.[3] During the match, Riggs used his drop shots and lobs to keep Court off balance. His 6–2, 6–1 victory[4] landed Riggs on the cover of both Sports Illustrated and Time magazine."
In de jaren zeven won zelfs een 55 jarige ex-prof van de nummer 1 van de vrouwen van destijds.
