The former president is to participate in a ceremony honoring King during the Billie Jean King Cup on Monday night. The one-night exhibition features top-ranked Serena Williams vs. Ana Ivanovic and Venus Williams vs. Jelena Jankovic in one-set semifinals. The winners will then compete in a best-of-three set final, with $1.2 million in total prize money.
The tournament is aimed at bolstering tennis among youngsters. It’s the first women’s match at the Garden since the season-ending WTA tournament in 2000.
King will join commentators John McEnroe and Mary Carillo in the booth for HBO, which will broadcast the event live.
