Original Toronto Star caption: A rock star falls in hustler's net. Don't ask, was all rock star Elton John (left) could moan when asked how he fared playing tennis with the hustler of the courts, Bobby Riggs (above). Riggs allowed that Elton plays well but a spectator at the match at the Wingfield Indoor Racquets Club in Downsview was less charitable. He plays well-for a piano player, she said. The match between the rock star, who often plays with tennis queen Billie Jean King, and Riggs. was arranged after the two found they were both staying at the same hotel.
