I can honestly answer this one.
I was a top-level state player as a Junior. Got out of state college scholarship offers but elected to attend LSU (who was #1 in the NCAA at the time and above my level) so I became a USPTA Professional and paid for my college through teaching and playing in Regional and National tournaments. I didn't suck. I worked the summers in Texas at a resort, I played every day, and played in Exhibition doubles matches with both men and women Professional Tour players. I was at the height of my game and there is NO WAY I could have beaten these women. None. You have no idea how good they are until you get on the court with them. The top-tier women are as strong as men and in incredible cardio shape. And I am talking about when I was college age. Now, forget about it.
TLDR, Cliffs. I played tennis for a living and actually played matches with some women pros. The answer is NO you couldn't win a game from them.

The OP can probably find out if he puts up enough money for one of the women to play him. It would be an easy payday for her.
