Renee Richards was an old man when he played them. You must know nothing about tennis. He was 42 years old when he started competing as a woman.

You are ignorant. lol

Billy Jean has come out against trannies competing as women as well. She said she could have never stayed on the court with Bobby Riggs had he not been an old man (55 years old) when she played him. As a 30 year old, she beat him in straight sets. But he beat a 30 year old Margaret Court.

There is a caveat to the King match, however.

Riggs had originally challenged Billie Jean King, but she had declined, regarding the challenge as a fatuous gimmick. Following Court's loss to Riggs, King decided to accept his challenge, [28] [29] and the two met in the Houston Astrodome on prime time television on Thursday, September 20, in a match billed as The Battle of the Sexes. [6] The oddsmakers and writers favored Riggs; [30] he built an early lead, but King won in straight sets (6–4, 6–3, 6–3) for the $100,000 winner-take-all prize. [7] [8]

The ESPN program Outside the Lines [31] made an allegation that Riggs took advantage of the overwhelming odds against King and threw the match to get his debts to the mob erased. The program featured a man who had been silent for 40 years for reasons of self-protection who claimed that he had worked at a country club and heard several members of the mafia talking about Riggs throwing the match in exchange for cancelling his gambling debt to the mob. The program also stated that Riggs' close friend and estate executor Lornie Kuhle vehemently denied Riggs was ever in debt to the mob or received a payoff from them.
