chosen.content: Tennis players Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King were the participants in the 1973 Battle of the Sexes. The tennis match was so named by its promoters. At the time, Bobby Riggs was a former number 1-ranked tennis player who invited Billie Jean King to play the match. Riggs was 55 at the time of the match and claimed that the women's tennis game was so inferior to the men's game that someone who was old as he was could beat any of the top current female tennis players. The match between Riggs and King had a primetime television audience. In the U.S., 50 million people tuned in, and worldwide, 90 million viewers watched the September 20, 1973 match, which took place in the Houston Astrodome. Billie Jean King beat Bobby Riggs in straight sets and earned the winner-take-all prize of $100,000.
  
  After the match, Billie Jean King said, "I thought it would set us back 50 years if I didn’t win that match. It would ruin the women’s [tennis] tour and affect all women’s self-esteem. To beat a 55-year-old guy was no thrill for me. The thrill was exposing a lot of new people to tennis.”
