Johanna Konta does 'Battle of the Sexes'

Shoppers in Westfield Shepherds Bush have been getting the chance to see Britain's number one womens tennis player, Johanna Konta, re-enact a piece of sporting history.

She took on - and beat - former Wimbledon men's champion Pat Cash in an exhibition match. It was inspired by Billy Jean King's victory over Bobby Riggs back in the 1970s - which is now the subject of a film 'Battle of the Sexes'.

The film will be in cinemas 24 November.
