The US Open is almost coming to an end and there is no doubt that we have seen some great matches this season in the mens and Womens singles tournament. We are nearing the moment where we will finally get to see who the winner of the last Grand Slam of the season will be and we all will be looking forward to the last few days of this incredible event.
Though we are here to see who the winner of the Grand slam will be this will also be the time where we get to talk about one of the most honourable events which was inspired by the legendary Billie Jean King who fought for the equal rights of Women and men tennis players. All the great people are awarded in the event which is known as the Champions of Equality which will honor the people who have contributed to the game of tennis in anyway possible.
The three legends arrive at the US Open
The Champions of Equality event is one of the biggest events which gives us those people who have made a major contribution to the game of tennis. There is no surprise that we are seeing the arrival of Billie Jean King at the venue, but she was also be joined by other two iconic figures who have come to attend the event as well. The two are none other than the Siberian Siren Maria Sharapova and Television icon Shonda Rhimes. Seeing these major publuc figures for this event really shows how much this event means to the sport of tennis and how important it is to celebrate the great people of the sport.
