Bobby Riggs: The Triple Crown and the Triple Bet

"More important than the truth about the parlay, is the fact Bobby won the titles. And he did it on his own terms. He took 18 straight matches--seven in singles, five in doubles, and six in mixed doubles-winning a total 51 of 60 sets played. In winning all three titles, he became one of three men to win the coveted "Triple Crown" (the others were Budge in 1937 and 1938, and Frank Sedgeman in 1952), and the only man to do so on his first attempt."
So the triple crown bet was part of the Riggs legend? Well I bought it!
This guy was quite the player, and a champion.
Love this Tom LeCompte series. Good stuff as usual on Tennisplayer.net
