The most famous female tennis player to beat a male player was when Billie Jean King beat Bobbie Riggs in the "Challenge of the Sexes." The match was held at the Houston Astrodome on September 20, 1973.
30,000 people came to watch the event and more than 50 million saw it on TV after Bobby was quoted to have said that he wanted women "back into the house where they belong."
