How great is it to see this legend back on Centre Court?
❤❤
Legend🤩
❤😂😊
😂😂a great of the game.. good to know she's around and.still knocking em balls 😂
Keeping the head steady like a boss
Firsy if all, yes!!
A true champion of radical feminist ideologies. Where women are paid equally for half the work, i.e paid twice the amount as men 😴The nerve she has to claim there's still more to be done for women in the sport lol
Legendary player 💖
Holy smokes, look at her head does not flinch at contact!!! Roger like!!! 🤤
Tell BJ to try a western ! lol
she is 79!
6 time Wimbledon winner
She won the 1975 final 6-1 6-0
Old age is not nice
Loved to see her staring at the ball the whole time while hitting.
Leyendas del tenis. Hitoricas.
Her technique has never faltered
Ella ama su raqueta como una guitarra😂
She belongs in a psychiatric ward. She thinks that she is a man.
Billie Jean surprised by the bounce. They don't make grass courts like they used to. It's basically an hard court now. The good grass courts are long gone. So much easier for the players to play on.
Keeps her head down & still like Roger Lol
Maybe I should try it :/
That was great. The muscle memory is still intact
Pretty darn good for a player who is almost 80 years of age. Her form is still impeccable. Sadly, she had double knee replacement a few years back, and the new knees are starting to show wear and tear. She needs assistance going up and down stairs. How sad that this laser quick footed player sacrificed them for a sport that she absolutely adores, yet how admirable and uplifting to see someone so in love with what she did. But, we, the fans, are all the better for having been able to see her during our lifetimes.
She is so gross.
great
She still has it for her age ❤
Woman who is very old has still.
Every time we see old people in the crowd we must think how much history could be in his or her life , legendary life or not , old people must have our respect always and always
Quelle grande dame 👏
Legend ❤😢😮
What a tremendous honor it was for BJK to be able to play on Centre Court before the Championships began. The usual routine is that, prior to the beginning of the tournament, four elderly women play "hit and giggle" doubles to "christen" the court. This is the first time that they have ever allowed a single player to play on the Centre Court before the tournament began. I can think of no one more deserving of that honor than Billie Jean King.
what a legend. so much admiration for her
Legend…❤️
Who is she?…..politic …….
Billie Jean King is the Scissoring Queen
I love it..but she needs the old wooden racket❤😊
