Tennis Icon Billie Jean King Inspires Fans with Story of 98-Year-Old Tennis Enthusiast

Tennis legend Billie Jean King has once again captured the hearts of fans with a heartwarming story of a 98-year-old tennis enthusiast named Dorothy Wiggins. In a recent post on social media, King shared a video of Wiggins showcasing her impressive tennis skills, inspiring everyone with her passion for the game.

Wiggins, who has been a tennis lover since childhood, found her inspiration to start playing tennis in her fifties after reading about an 85-year-old Swedish King playing the sport. Despite not being able to afford lessons earlier in life, Wiggins never gave up on her dream of playing tennis and eventually mastered the game.

In the video shared by King, Wiggins can be seen hitting powerful serves, proving that age is just a number when it comes to pursuing your passion. While Wiggins admitted that she may not be able to run on the court anymore, she continues to play with the help of a pro to retrieve hard-to-reach balls.

Billie Jean King, a pioneer in promoting women’s rights in sports, has always been a vocal advocate for gender equality on and off the court. By sharing Wiggins’ inspiring story, King once again emphasizes the importance of supporting women in sports and beyond.

As King continues her journey of advocating for women’s rights, she remains committed to empowering women to pursue their dreams and break barriers in the sporting world. With her recent tribute to Dorothy Wiggins, King’s legacy of championing equality and inclusivity in tennis shines brighter than ever.
