I couldn’t consistently beat the LPGA players with which I usually practiced and played.

What if they played from the men’s tees?

A college team? There is not a mens college team in existence that could not win the WNBA title and probably go undefeated. The absolute worst NAIA team would dominate. I don't know about every state, but the best 20 high school teams in the states of Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and California would also be the best team in the WNBA.

I'm not trying to bash women's basketball as its being played at its highest level in history, but the leaping ability, and agility is light years apart between women and even teenage boys.

Would an average player on a middle of the road Power 5 conference team be favored to win the grand slam if he faced the strongest women’s field? Pick whichever year has the strongest field, I’ll defer to anyone with your background, but I figure it would include prime Serena.

If he didn’t, would it most likely be due to injury?

What tees do the ladies play from at that level? The ladies team here at South Dakota, D1 NCAA, I see the ladies out during practice rounds and they play from the tips.

Yes, those girls would crush the average male mid-capper.

my dad was military and i saw New Jersey, Illinois part of 10th grade while dad learned some nuclear bomber and Louisiana hoops.
the junior high team of burlington new jersey went undefeated. the front line was 6 9" 6 9. 6 8. black dominance of the boards.
the pg was white, he shaved. hairy chest. he was the one kid in class faster than me. 9th graders.

they were not versatile.
they just flew down the court. i bet they would stomp the gold medal olympic team of pro women. they would just overwhelm the inside.
a couple guards of Burlington junior high could shoot. they all played serious defense.
there are always a few pro women who can shoot. i cant see any women on earth standing up to top teenaged boys in the paint.

Do you have any training in martial arts, boxing, or wrestling? If the answer is no, then you would lose.

Avoiding grappling is a skill all itself.

Which women's pro sport could I absolutely dominate in? Absolutely not a single one. At all. Unless we are counting Women's football leagues. Then I would dominate pretty well there as that was my best sport.

Otherwise, the best pro sport I could play in is WNBA. However, I'm not convinced I could even make a team, let alone start . I had a friend of mine in college who was on the wbb team. We would play 1-on-1 all the time. She win sometimes, I win sometimes. If I can't dominate a girl who only played basketball at the D2 level, what chance do I have at the WNBA.

My worst sport would probably be something like golf or tennis. I struggle to beat my wife in tennis. She was an ok tennis player in high school, nothing special. If I struggle to beat her now, then I'd never have a chance in hell in beating Serena.

My wife took jujutsu and Taekwondo for multiple years as a child. I took zero. Obviously I'm much stronger than her. She always surprises me by the multiple ways she knows how to put me on the ground, not to mention her submission holds are hard as shite to get out of.

But then again it's hard to seriously try while I'm getting turned on

No offense but you just weren't that good.

None taken. I know I suck I can't shoot, I can't dribble, I can't jump. The only thing I know how to do is play defense, lay-ups, and boxing out.

Prime Serena would almost surely be favored over an average Power 5 men's player. For context, she was serving 125 mph at her peak performance.

I've watched Jenny Finch strike out major league all-stars, so I doubt you would make this team.

and that’s just a run of the mill serve for a college player in mens

And there is so much more to a serve than just nailing it hard flat

if i where back in high school, i would've been 2nd in the world for women's 100m dash and champ in the 400m. in my early 20s, i would also be the 100m champ. probably could've sustained that into my early to mid 30s.
