Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - Pittsburgh, PA, USA
- Tennis icon Billie Jean King was having lunch on the terrace of the Claremont Resort in Berkeley, Calif., watching a tennis match at a nearby club.
King noticed one of the players.
"She was a good ball-striker, and that was a major strength of her game," King said. "She had a great attitude and was very respectful of those around her. As she grows and matures, those qualities will allow her to be a champion in life, regardless of what happens on the court."
King was talking about Peters Township junior Alison Riske. Riske met King on Aug. 10 at a speaking engagement
