5:00 Man they play like Amateurs, they won’t make it professionally now a days.

billie jean is not my lover (MJ)

[@user-vh4yi8yy3g]

Margaret Court was better

[@maxipazz8214]

No way, Billie is a loved person in tennis circles, Court is embarrassing to the WTA

[@hardsam68]

Based on what? I don’t think so,not at Wimbledon and that’s the only one that they all want to win

[@hardsam68]

She loves Chris and evonne

[@timfincham3756]

In their time Wimbledon was the one to win, King won it 6 times, Court 3, she won the Aussie open when no one else played it hardly

[@fritzfrostick6910]

Margaret Court and Billie Jean King played each other in two Wimbledon singles finals and Margaret certainly owned her - won them both without losing a set.
