John McEnroe appeared on Wednesday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, talking about why doubles matches aren't as good or important as singles matches. At some point, Kimmel brought up a question about who would win between him and Serena Williams, who is currently trying to achieve a calendar Grand Slam, and who McEnroe has practiced with on a tennis court before.

Of course, McEnroe said he would defeat her:

McEnroe: "My daughters are over there. I think it's mixed, they think I'd probably lose to Serena. I believe that I could still take her."

Kimmel: "You do? And why hasn't this happened?"

K: "He's going to be our president soon." [audience laughs]

M: "Gonna be our president in about a year. He made an offer, which, you know I felt, like, was not enough, and I think he was humoring the two of us. And Serena - she's got a lot to lose by losing to an old fart like myself. And I got a lot to lose, because if I lose to, God forbid, a woman, then I'm not allowed in any men's locker room for the next 15 years, or possibly the end of my life. So that's part of why it's intriguing."
