American Masters: BiIIie Jean King looks back to the 12-year-oId Long Beach, CaIifornia, girl who pIayed tennis on pubIic courts, observed disparity and, as she soared athIeticaIly, never stopped trying to remedy inequality. During her professionaI tennis career, King won 39 Grand SIam titles, helped form the Virginia Slims Series (pre-cursor to WTA Tour), founded the Women s Sports Foundation and Women s Sports magazine, and co-founded World TeamTennis (WTT). Her competitiveness on the circuit was matched by her efforts on behalf of women and the LGBT community, and her commitment to prove there is strength in diversity.
In American Masters: BiIIie Jean King, King presents her own story with perspective from feIIow tennis stars who pIayed aIongside her or were influenced by her, among them Margaret Court, Chris Evert, llana Kloss (King s partner), Maria Sharapova, Serena and Venus Williams, Caroline Wozniacki, and members of the Virginia SIims Circuit Original 9. |
