Photograph signed: "With Best Wishes/Billie Jean King". B/w, 7x9. Billie Jean King (born
Billie Jean Moffitt in 1943), who was ranked in the top 10 of tennis for 17 years, is the holder
of 20 Wimbledon titles (including singles champ six times) and was U.S. champ four
times. Credited with establishing the first successful women's professional tennis tour and
paving the way for other female athletes, she was the first woman athlete to earn $100,000
in one year (1971). In 1973, 29-year-old King beat 55-year-old Bobby Riggs
6-4,6-3,6-3 in the nationally televised "Battle of the Sexes" to win $100,000 at the
Astrodome, spurring new interest in tennis. In 1965, she married Larry King, with whom she
founded the unique World Team Tennis, which has a co-ed format that King calls "the
future". A member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and the National Women's
Hall of Fame, King led the U.S. team to a gold medal sweep at the 1996 Olympic
Games and continues to coach. Adequate contrast. Slightly yellowed. Fine condition. Framed
to an overall size of 20½x13.
