What's the greatest "Age Gap" rivalry in sports history?

For me it's Djokovic vs. Alcaraz.
Despite Djokovic being 16 years older than Alcaraz they always put on a good show up until the past year.
For comparison- Djokovic and Alcaraz are further apart in age than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were.
Any rivalries come to mind?

Golf has some good ones...Jack vs. Arnie, Jack vs. Watson. And in the 90s & 2000s it was Tiger vs. the entire old guard

"The Battle of the Sexes" when Billie Jean King played Bobby Riggs in a tennis match. King was 29 when she played Riggs, age 55 in that match making that a 26 year age difference.
King won in 3 straight sets going 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to take the $100K grand prize.

"Age Gap" rivalry
Maybe “rivalry” should be in quotations instead of age gap.
Is Alcaraz & Djoker really a rivalry? Alcaraz beat him in Wimbledon Final 2 years in a row

14 years between Graf and Navratilova, which is a better rivalry than Novak and Carlos.
