re: John McEnroe: I would beat Serena Williams if we played today

He's right. There is a 30 for 30 about womens equality, pay, blah blah blah. The best men would beat the best women every time. It's not a slight on women, just that nature has taken care of things. Bigger, stronger, faster. Billie Jean King beat an over the hill, washed up semi-pro in Bobby Riggs. Had she played Jimmy Connors or Nastase she would have been brutalized. We wont ever see the day where women's sports are viewed as a whole the same as men. Again, not a slight, just the way it is

If she could beat him it is only due to his age and decline of agility and speed. They are probably even though.

Only one sport that women beat men on a semi-regular basis in Ultramarathoning. Once you get up to the 50-mile mark, the differences in male and female bodies even out.
Mac wins in straight sets.

He threw that match. She didn't actually beat him. Everybody knows that.

Sure she did. Just a few months before his match with King, Riggs actually played the #1 ranked women's tennis player in the world and beat the shite out of her.
quote:
Riggs first challenged Billie Jean King, but when she declined, Margaret Court stepped in. At the time Court was 30 years old and the top female player in the world. On the day of their match, May 13, 1973, 5000 fans came to Mother's Day match in Ramona, California. Bobby Riggs came out on court and presented Margaret Court with Mother's Day flowers; which she accepted and curtsied.[3] During the match, Riggs used his drop shots and lobs to keep Court off balance. His 6–2, 6–1 victory[4] landed Riggs on the cover of both Sports Illustrated and Time magazine. [5][6]
