《Battle of the Sexes 胜负反手拍》已在美国上映，台湾要到11下旬或12月初推出。两位女主角Emma Stone(饰演Billie Jean King)和Andrea Riseboroughe(饰演Marilyn Barnett)联手登上8月份同志杂志OUT的封面，不难想见片中的女同含量超越原本的网球性别大战。
以《Little Miss Sunshine 小太阳的愿望》、《Ruby Sparks客制化女神》知名的夫妻档导演，Dayton谈到拍片动机：“We love tennis, don’t get me wrong,But it was the love story that drove us to make this.”(我们热爱网球，但别误会了，是剧中的爱情故事驱动我们)

是的，而且是非常浪漫的爱情。导演指出金恩夫人和美发师Marilyn第一次相识，透过她的头发被轻抚触摸，耳边的声音⋯⋯营造出autonomous sensory meridian response的情境，简称ASMR，中译为“自发性知觉高潮”，也有人用“颅内高潮”来形容。其实是对于视听触闻的知觉被聚焦，在脑中或是头皮、颈部、耳内产生愉悦的感觉。所以并不限于“高潮”，很多应用在舒压安眠。
Bobby Riggs是活跃于40年代的男网好手，1967年荣登网球名人堂，照理应该安享晚年。可能是不干平淡，还想再捞一笔，1973年大放厥词，夸口以他退休状态仍然可以击败当时女网高手。第一场确实如他所愿。他在五月对战当时澳洲新秀Margaret Court，不到一小时即以6比2，6比1获胜。此役被称为“母亲节大屠杀”。
Tennis star Billie Jean King admitted Friday that she had a homosexual affair with a woman several years ago, but she call it " a mistake" and asked her fans to show her compassion and understanding.
网球名星金恩夫人周五坦承几年前有同性恋情，这是“一场错误”，希望粉丝能体谅。
Mrs. King, 37, was joined by her husband, Larry and her attorney, Dennis Wasser, at a news conference she called to respond to allegations in a "palimony" lawsuit filed earlier this week Marilyn Barnett, 32, a former hairdresser who claimed she and Mrs. King were lovers.
37岁的金恩夫人由丈夫和律师陪同召开记者会回应先前由32岁的玛丽安提告“赡养费”官司。她曾为发型师，自称是金恩夫人的恋人。
The suit said the tennis star had promised to give Miss Barnett the Malibu beach house she now lives in and to "provide for all of her financial support and needs for the rest of her life."
指控书提到这位网球名星承诺赠与伯纳小姐现居住的马里布海边别墅，而且“提供她日后所有经济支援和需求”。
Mrs. King told reporters at an airport hotel: " I felt very strongly about this. I've always been above board with the press and I will talk now as I have always talked, from my heart. People's privacy is very important, but unfortunately someone didn't respect that.
金恩夫人告诉记者：“我的情绪很激动。我一向对媒体公开坦白，现在一如往常发自内心。隐私很重要，但有人就是不尊重。”
"I did have an affair with Marilyn, but it was over quite some time ago. I'm very disturbed and shocked that Marilyn would do this in such a selfish way."
“我与玛丽安确实有过恋情，但是已结束多时。我很难过也很讶异，玛丽安这样自私的举动。”
Mrs. King refused to disclose details of her lesbian relationship with Miss Barnett, who claimed in her lawsuit that "sexual intamacies commenced approximately six months after their first date."
金恩夫人拒绝揭露她与伯纳小姐的交往细节，对方宣称“两人约会六个月开始发生亲密关系”
Mrs. King, who has won record 20 Wimbledon championships in singles and doubles, along with scores of other major titles, at first had denied Miss Barnett's allegations.
金恩夫人曾获温布敦20次单打双打冠军。一开始她否认伯纳小姐的指控。
But Friday, against the advice of her attorney, she called the press conference. She entered the room holding her husband's hand. Later, when the press conference was over, the couple kissed. 但是周五，不顾律师反对召开记者会。她和丈夫牵手进入会场。两人离去时还互相亲吻。
