Billie Jean King backs calls to rename Margaret Court Arena


King is attending the Australian Open for the first time in eight years, marking the 50th anniversary of her Australian title. Court is not attending this year's Australian Open, which starts Monday, but has been a regular guest in the past. King said she wouldn't promote a boycott of the stadium, but encouraged players to "look inside their heart" before making a decision. King said she wished Court, who lives in Perth, Western Australia, was in Melbourne so they could continue the conversation. Martina Navratilova wrote an open letter earlier in the year criticizing Court and recommended that tennis officials rename the arena that bears the Australian's name at Melbourne Park.
