She is also widely remembered for having lost a heavily publicized and U.S. televised challenge match to a former World No. 1 male tennis player, the 55-year-old Bobby Riggs, on Mother's Day, May 13, 1973, in Ramona, California.

Using a mixture of lobs and drop shots, however, Riggs beat her handily 6-2, 6-1.
