Martina Navratilova energized women's tennis by beating popular Billy Jean King.
She dominated the sport for several years and likely would have beat male any male challengers on any given day as well. She was a role model for any girl wanting to see how dedicated and skilled women could be in sports.
She also brought and being a non-brit non-us euro hick (?) and being a hip euro into the wimbleton - in my opinion, at a time "billy jean king" and tennis was becoming popular and more like piano lessons as far as culture and media
