This week: Billie Jean - 'I Hate to Lose'
The Wimbledon crowds used to call Billie Jean King 'Little Miss Moffitt'. They laughed both with and at her as she snapped and snarled around the Centre Court.
But later the crowds turned sour. They thought the game was the thing and what they saw as 'gamesmanship' was bad sportsmanship. They objected loudly to her behaviour and tactics and suddenly they liked - even wanted - to see her beaten.
This year those who felt that way had their wish; plus a British victory into the bargain.
Now, the girl who hates to lose and goes to extraordinary lengths to win, is at a cross-roads. Her husband would like her to retire, but realises he's asking too much. She feels she should, but can't.
Man Alive was with Billie Jean King and her camp during the tension in the month before and up to the Wimbledon final and then afterwards when, tasting the bitterness of defeat, she tried to decide her future.
