The U.S. Tennis Association recently announced that it would rename its tennis center to honor Billie Jean King, who won 20 Wimbledon tennis titles and four U.S. Open championships.
King received the Elizabeth Blackwell Award from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 1998 and was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls in August 1990.
She is a founder of the Women’s Tennis Association and Women’s Sports Foundation.
