That year, Billie Jean’s then-husband Larry co-founded World Team Tennis (WTT), a mixed-gender tennis league, and King recruited the league’s female players. The Philadelphia Freedoms, Billie Jean’s WTT squad, inspired Elton John’s song “Philadelphia Freedom,” which serves as their anthem.

Billy Jean retired as a professional tennis player after more than 25 years of service and sought an administrative position in the sport. King retired from competitive tennis in 1984 and went on to become the first female commissioner in sports history, as well as one of the league’s owners, until 2001.

Elton John and King founded the World Team Tennis Smash Hits, an annual all-star charity tennis competition that benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation, in 1992. Billie Jean captained the American Fed Cup team and coached the country’s women’s Olympic tennis team after retiring.
