So seminal a sports moment it was, Battle of the Sexes has been given its own turn in the movie world – with Emma Stone playing King and Steve Carrell taking on the part of Bobby Riggs.

After a screening of the new film in New York this week (Tuesday 19 September), King sat along side Emma Stone, the film’s co-director Valerie Faris and Shonda Rhimes for a panel discussion.

And, when she found herself being asked several questions related to John McEnroe (who went after Serena Williams earlier this summer), King – who has 39 Grand Slam titles under her belt – decided to set the record straight, once and for all.

“You notice the guys bring it up,” she said, according to Vanity Fair. “We don’t bring it up. We don’t say we’re better than you. We know it.”
