This fascinating series revisits a golden age of tennis during the 70s and 80s that changed the sport forever.

These were heroes who not only produced some of the best matches in the history of sport, but who broke boundaries and drove significant change away from the tennis courts.

Episode One:
It’s 1975 and two tennis greats – Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe – are aiming to win Wimbledon titles but also, in their own ways, to change the world for the better.
