The original bad boy of tennis, Bobby Riggs was known for his brash attitude and his feuds with the tennis establishment. Behind the loud exterior, Riggs was a gifted athlete who saw much success on both the amateur and professional courts. A three-time U.S. professional champion, Riggs would also succeed on the courts of Forest Hills and Wimbledon.
After his illustrious career, Riggs would once again become a household name for his match against Billie Jean King in the 1973 "Battle of the Sexes" match.
Here in "The Last Sure Thing," journalist Tom LeCompte tells the story of a hustler, a huckster, a champion, and the life and times of Bobby Riggs. |
