The $10,000 senior match features Bobby Riggs and Margaret Court on a ramshackle Ramona court 38 miles from San Diego. CBS will televise at 3:30 p.m. EDT with Court earning $10,000 and Riggs $7,500. The event sparks gender dynamics debates as Court, a top player with 30 national titles, faces the aging but crafty Riggs in a novel, satellite-linked spectacle set in a mountainside development near the Cuyamaca range.
