Alice Marble

And, um, but yeah, she's su- just such a lovely person.

And, you know, and one of the times she came on the show w- when she had her biography on Alice Marble come out, I believe it's Alice Marble, um, uh, Queen of the Court.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, she would say, like, sometimes, you know, uh, even if your story is chronological, writing out of chronology is fine.

So she got a couple new coaches along the way.

One of her coaches, Alice Marble, a former tennis star, taught her, you know, the art of playing the game.

And she really helped Billie Jean move up the rankings all the way up to number four in the women's national junior rankings in the States.

Okay.

So there were some tough choices to be made.

There were so many that didn't make the grade on an all-time basis that were, had s- that did have impact, the likes of Alice Marble and Ellsworth Vines and Bobby Riggs.

And Jim Courier is an honorable mention with four major titles.

Yeah.

I don't put all facts down.

In 38 at the U.S. National Championship for the women at Forest Hills, an American, her name is Alice Marble.

Like a marble.

It's a beep beep.
