Kyrgios only was allowed 1 serve and he had to hit into a shrunken court

And he still won with ease.

Of course the douche canoe Kyrgios agreed to this, probably the only mens player who would entertain it.

I watched this farce. He didn’t even try.
Handed her 3 games each set.

Yea, he was going about 60% at best. It was a pointless match but someone made bank on it.

Tennis has always been on the equality thing trying to push what we all know is not true. Women cant beat men. And they never will.

It's an interesting discussion as to which males can beat a top ten woman. I feel like I was raised with people like Johnny Mac and Chris Evert saying the top 300 men can easily beat the number one woman. I think pride believes this goes into the thousands and even run of the mill D1 guys.

Any starting college men’s tennis player on a power 4 team would blast through women’s tennis with absolute ease

I figured your top end D1 guys smoke any woman because that's basically Steve Johnson, Isner, JJ Wolf. But, I would be curious to see some guy playing four singles at mid-tier SEC/B1G versus Serena or Sabalenka.

600 isn’t what he really is though, that’s just because he was injured and missed tournaments last year.

He is more of a top 30-40 player (though he also isn’t at peak conditioning right now, either).

I suspect when he’s really in form though, it would be more like 6-1, 6-0 for Kyrgios.

Mac was always being generous and PC because he said #500 in Mens would Goose egg media darling Serena in the 2000s and he got the expected backlash even though he was being kind.

think about how good the LSU women's basketball team was in the mid 2000s... they were run out of the gym by the gold team that was comprised of guys who would probably not make any D1 or D2 team in the country. I went to a few practices when Pokey Chapman was coach and they destroyed Sylvia Fowles and Seimone Augustus.

It would be fun to see what the worst squad of men you could put together to win the WNBA championship.

I doubt she did it to try and prove anything, but I’m not very familiar with her.

Don't think it's fair to classify Kyrgios as just your run of the mill 600th ranked tennis player. At his best, he is easily a seeded player.

With that said, he also has been chronically injured for the last 2.5 years.

More likely she was receiving a very large appearance fee

Maybe to help the observable and provable fact that males shouldn't be competing against women.
