Tennis Legend Billie Jean King on the Fight for Equality in Tennis | Amanpour and Company

Few athletes have worked harder for sports equality than tennis legend Billie Jean King. Her on-court achievements are counted in record-busting titles, but her off-court achievements are immeasurable. Chief among them is the founding, 50 years ago, of the Women’s Tennis Association -- a watershed advance that established a women's professional tour. Christiane sat down with Billie Jean King at London’s Gloucester Hotel, the very place she made it happen 50 years ago this week.
