A reunion with Billie Jean King

Tennis enthusiast Tom Foster (pictured, on right) spent time with tennis legend Billie Jean King (pictured, on left) at this year’s Wimbledon in London. Tom attended the tournament with his tennis coach and French Open champion Lori McNeil and his friend Robin Schirrmeister. They were guests at a special dinner party at Wimbledon’s Last 8 Club, a private club whose members have reached the quarterfinals in singles, the semifinals in men’s or women’s doubles, or the finals in mixed doubles. This was not the first time Tom was in the company of tennis royalty. He initially met Billie Jean King in 1973 when she defeated Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes match.
