With 12 Grand Slam Singles titles, 16 Grand Slam Doubles titles and 11 Grand Slam Mixed Doubles titles, Billie Jean King has practically achieved everything that there is to achieve in tennis.

Awards have been continued to be bestowed upon King for years. From winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom to being named TIME Person of the Year to having the national Tennis Centre named after her, she has racked up the awards even after her retirement.

Billie Jean King won her Grand Slam Mixed Doubles titles with numerous partners - Dick Crealy, Owen Davidson, Bob Hewitt, Phil Dent. However, most of her 11 Grand Slam titles were won in tandem with Australian Owen Davidson.
