MURRAY CROWNED KING OF EQUALITY

- BY NEIL McLEMAN

EXCLUSIVE BILLIE JEAN KING has hailed Andy Murray as a “real hero” for fighting for sexual equality. After defeat to Sam Querrey, the world No.1 corrected a journalist who described Querrey as the first US player to reach a Grand Slam semi-final since 2009. “Male player,” said the Scot. King, who won the Battle of the Sexes against Bobby Riggs in 1973, said: “It’s really important to include everyone and Andy Murray’s a real hero of mine because he does that.”
