Historical Context

The 1973 Wimbledon Championships were significant as they coincided with the founding of the Women's Tennis Association, led by Billie Jean King, who advocated for gender equality in tennis. This culminated in 2007 when Wimbledon awarded equal prize money of £2 million to both men and women. Today, discussions continue around match formats, as seen in Jessica Pegula's push for a best-of-three sets structure.
