Evert tops King in Hilton Head final clash
Chris Evert wins 6-0 6-1 over Billie Jean King in the Hilton Head Island final to take the $25,000 prize and extend her clay court streak to 106 in a match she called a mental squeaker. King, recently back from knee surgery, said she lacks the mental toughness for big points. Other results include Borg over Villas, Dibbs over Gerulaitis, and Gottfried advancing to face Smith in the Pacific Southwest.
