When Billie Jean beat Bobby - the Battle of the Sexes that defined an era

In 1973, Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in the iconic Battle of the Sexes tennis match watched by 90 million people worldwide. The event marked a significant moment in the women's rights movement and had political implications for gender equality in sports. The upcoming match between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios pays homage to this historic event, although it will not carry the same weight as King's pivotal victory over Riggs.
