On this day in 1968 🎾 52 years ago today, Billie Jean King won her third Wimbledon Women's Singles title. The 1968 edition of the tournament was the first to offer prize money. King earned £750 ($980) for her win, while Men's Singles Champion Rod Laver took home £2,000 ($2,621) as equal prize money hadn't yet been introduced. In 2019, Novak Djokovic and Simona Halep took home £2.35m ($2.98m) each for their respective victories at SW19.
