John McEnroe got heat for this years ago. He said she would ranked well into the hundreds when including men.

And Serena agreed with him.

Personally...I ran in HS /College. I would have been on the podium at the Olympics in 92 or 96 for the women's 10000 if I ID'd as such. I got blitzed though when I went against world class men.. Like getting lapped several times


My son is in 7th grade. Always been a good athlete but track gave him a chance to shine individually.

He goes to a small private school and is .6 slower in the 100 and 1.4 seconds slower in the 200 than the 6A state champion woman this year.

She is being kind. Serena would struggle against college level tennis players.

The difference in tennis is no different than the difference in basketball.

The LSU women's basketball team won the NCAA title, but they wouldn't beat the best high school men's basketball team in La.

Some of us are old enough to remember Annika Sorenstam playing in a PGA event, the Bank of America Colonial, in 2003. Sorenstam was one of the great female golfers of her era. She is is worthy of tremendous respect, not merely for stepping up and accepting the challenge of playing against the men of the PGA, but for her brutal honesty after failing to make the cut...

"When I asked her after she played Colonial if she would ever play another men's event, she told me: "No. I play golf for one reason, to have a chance to win on Sunday. I can't do that out here so why should I play? I proved I could handle it. That's all I wanted."

The Senate committee should interview Sorenstam.

Both of those sweat hogs would get their asses beat by the best male college players.

So you're saying that, in her prime, 1,000 pro men would have beaten the best woman in the world.

Don't know if you intended to make our point for us, but that's what you did.

Trick question. Serena IS a man.

i don't think she's a man or any thing of the sort (See Greiner)


But... she's definitely been doing PEDs without question. so she kinda deserves it maybe a little bit.

She couldn't beat 95% - 99% of all college male tennis players.

At least 1000 pro men would have beaten her handily in 3 sets, yes. Certainly a number outside that 1000 would have handled her (certainly in 5 sets), but as you go down the rankings and into the competitive amateur and casual men players, she would start to trounce an increasing percentage of them.

Meh - in her prime she would probably go 50/50 against all college men in 3 sets. Maybe a third of them in 5 sets. (Maybe.)

Which brings up another point...if women are equal to men, and certainly if they want equal pay, why don't they play 5 sets?

Dem witness: "There's been this news article about men that think they can beat Serena Williams in tennis. And it's just not the case. She is stronger than them."

@Riley_Gaines_: "Both Serena and Venus lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player."

Not only was the obscure male player ranked #203, he was puffing on a cigar and drinking beer between games while pounding the Williams sisters into submission. It was a massacre.

The scenario was; the Williams sister's Dad boasted that the sisters could beat any male player ranked over #100. So this guy volunteered to take the challenge. After the beat down, Richard Williams disappeared into to the obscurity and hasn't been heard from.

Zero chance of that happening, unless she's playing strictly at the JC level. I still doubt she'd win much there either.

She didn’t simply say Serena would beat any man, she said they wouldn’t even score a point. That’s a brain dead woman.

Dems continue to push diversity and put unqualified people in leadership and influential positions.

I dont understand how the side that would absolutely get the s*it kicked out of them keeps pushing the other side lol.

I cannot wait for the recoil and I hope its every bit worse than anything these people could have envisioned for themselves.
