See my reply to OP, this is a battle that has been staged many times with all sorts of advantages given to the dickless side (including one where a female Chinese player was given a 40 point advantage over Novak Djokovic every single game), yet the ONLY one you are ever taught about in school is Billie Jean King, who went up against a lardass rank amateur.
Riggs was a pro, but 55 years old and the next ranking that came out he wasn't even in the top 500 men. He still took points from her in every set.
He had destroyed Margaret Court who was THE best in women's tennis history, in May '73.
He took on King in September to a huge TV audience. He claimed he had a flu but still made King sweat like a pig by the end. She was a steroid monster while Riggs was a twig :/
Some other M v W matches saw rules like
men defend the entire (doubles size) court (like this one did!)
No second serve for the male. First fault = lost point. (I don't think that was the case here)
Yeah I was about to say I feel like I've heard this story before.

He wasn't an amateur, he was just like 50 years old and retired.
