It was cute, they set up a tennis net and Billie Jean hit a few tennis balls. I couldn’t find the video.

Fifty years after Billie Jean King helped form the WTA, she was nominated by the Washington D.C. legislation for a Congressional Gold Medal.

King, who famously beat Bobby Riggs in the Battle of Sexes exhibition in 1973, would become the first female athlete to be honored with this distinction.

King is largely recognized for her lifelong endeavor to champion women’s rights, most notably her tireless advocacy for equal pay.
