I once saw a documentary on this match and one thing that affected it was Riggs' dismantling of Margaret Court who was the #1 player in the world. As I recall, Riggs went into the Court match in tip-top shape, but because it was so easy, he took King lightly and went into the Battle of the Sexes out of shape. It makes sense that he would take the #2 player lightly after humiliating the #1 player.
