The movie “Battle of the Sexes” is based on the story of a real match between veteran tennis player Bobby Riggs and one of the best tennis players of the 1970s Billie Jean King, who had to prove that women’s tennis is just as entertaining and interesting, and that fees should be charged regardless of gender. Her opponent Riggs, on the contrary, ridiculed the claims of female tennis players, and decided to prove his point on the court by challenging Billie Jean King. In the U.S., this match in 1973 was watched by 48 million people, and how the fight ended, see the movie.

A few months ago, “King Richard,” a film about Richard Williams, father of tennis legends Serena and Venus Williams, was released. The film tells how much he spent to bring up the champions, how he calculated the development of their careers in their youth, the sacrifices and compromises he had to make, but his total faith in his daughters’ talent helped him come this way. Brilliantly played Richard Williams actor Will Smith, who even managed to get for this role the “Golden Globe” award in the category “Best Drama Actor”.
