Its a proven fact that men are INCREDIBLY more efficient at Tennis than women
Back when Venus was at her peak, she challenged any man outside the top 200 to beat her in a 3 set match. The match was against Karsten Braasch of Germany who was ranked 203 at the time
Long story short: Venus got demolished 61 62 and she even said "he was so hard to beat, some of the shots I hit would've easily been winners against another woman, but he got to them every time"
They really should do a rematch for their charities or something! They both have foundations they donate money to. I think the two of them playing against each other would garner a lot of money!
I love all of your comments relating to how good mens tennis is and how shit womens is. Womens tennis is really a joke. as if andy would lose a game against serena and/or her sister 'at the same time. 'thats a huge bitch'. sorry girls your just not talented. amen
@larkiess - mens tennis has been TOO boring for a NUMBER of years compared to the women's IMO. The ONLY thing that keeps me watching men's (FINALLY) is federer and nadal. I couldn't care less for what happens with the rest of the mens draw.
If the top college player could take a set from Federer in US Open 2007 and make the match close, then anyone around that level could beat Serena Williams. Even guys ranked around 900 would beat the top women aroudn today.
I dunno.... I think she could get at least 3-4 games against a professional male player on grass. I don't think she would have that much trouble holding serve; maybe men hit harder and run faster but that doesn't mean they return better. Men don't have faster REFLEXES than women. And what makes Serena's serve so good is partly its speed, yes (it is a fact that her average first serve speed IS higher than a lot of men's), but mostly PLACEMENT. On grass, it would not be unheard of....
@bjdm3089 you raise a good point but, i think men would be more than comfortable returning serena's first serve. In women's tennis 100-118 is your typical "ace-worthy" serve speed. Which for men is a very slow first serve to return. Roddick sometimes hits second serves of that speed. That being said roddick is not the best returner so i think what i said would not apply to him.
A decade and a half older than the sisters, Braasch "was a man whose training regime centred around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager."[1] He nonetheless handily defeated the sisters in an individual set, 6–1 on Serena, 6–2 on Venus, while rubbing it in by smoking cigarettes during the changeover.
Karsten Braasch (born 14 July 1967 in Marl, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a professional German tennis player. His highest ATP singles ranking is 38th, which he reached on 13 June 1994. His career high in doubles was at 36 set at 10 November 1997. He was well-noted for his service motion and his habit of smoking during changeovers.
Braasch competed in a 'Battle of the Sexes' contest against Venus Williams and Serena Williams at the 1998 Australian Open when he was ranked 203.
this was all in good fun people need to lighten up and STFU serena obviously knows she wouldn't be able to beat andy now but she loves milking every minute of "that" time she did beat him lol.
Who are these self-styled tennis "experts" in here who keep stoking the dream that Serena would actually beat Roddick? It's absurd. There's a recent article through AAP entitled "serena-williams-says-she-could-not-beat-any-man-ranked-in-world-top-100". As she points out, men's and women's tennis is just too different. You'd think the fiercely devoted dreamers would listen to what she says.
I didn't see the match but I think for sure men have a harder time playing with women mainly due to mentality. (They think they're SUPPOSED to win) Once your head goes - physicality and skill count for little. But for those who want to look at power and all the crap - Serena has some huge legs - if you're smart enough in this game you know footwork is the basis of all pro shots... hell footwork is the basis of sports.
The main factor would be movement and consistency. The men have a lot more margin on their balls (including Andy), coupled with the superior court coverage, Serena would have to hit tooooo many good shots to win rallies. I do think she would be relatively successful on his serve, because a lot of Andy's balls, although fast, sit up. Andy would be Serena's best chance at a top player, because even if she couldn't touch his serve, he would do much with hers either.
i LOL when people say serena could beat roddick. im not tryin to sound sexist but serena or any female players on the wta tour just don't have the skill level to play against males on the atp tour. its just how it is. there is obviously to many serena fans on this page who just can't accept that, don't anything about tennis, or are just stupid. there is a huge difference between pro males and pro females. jesus christ people..........
@footballtdr No matter what your justification is you don't know that for sure. youre just basing it off scientific facts. But Serena can hit harder than any male players in my opinion. I'm a fan yes, and I do know tennis. Have you seen how brutally hard she hits, especially in her QF against in Wimbledon in 2009? As for all us, we can assume this and that about men and women, but if Serena was facing Andy in particular, and just Andy, she has chance.
@wiseguyknowsit Err.. you contend that Serena hits harder than ANY male player? In other words, she hits harder than everyone else in the world. Harder than Nadal, for example? And Roger too? How would you explain the biomechanics of this?
@footballtdr - i'm sorry but, I really don't know why you "LOL when people say serena could beat roddick". You act like he's the most talented tennis player we've ever seen. (And we KNOW that's a laugh. ) The man was LUCKY enough to win ONE slam. Every time he's in a slam he CHOKES. That's why I've given up on him. He's NOT all that great of a player, so stop acting like he's the best ever. LOL!! (continued)
@footballtdr - You KNOW that all he has is a great hard serve... what else does he have over Serena??? You act like Serena is just some high school player who hasn't accomplished anything.
Interesting that you say you're not trying to sound "sexist" but yet, almost everything you said was sexist. SMH.
Watch Wimbledon 2009 final where Andy took Roger Federer to a 5 set match that ended in the tie-breakers. You're an idiot if you still think Andy is all serve after that
football tdr must absolutely no nothing about tennis cause everyone seems to second that Serena can beat him. That stiff arm backhand that lands short 90% of the time would get CRUSHED! Her defensive skills kills his, Serena is Womens tennis. If she is playun 75% well she could beat any women on tour man,...go watch football cause u obviously no squat about a sport Ive played since practically birth lol
you are mentally retarded if you think serena could beat roddick. roddick would win 6-0 6-0. serena would get owned by any male pro ranked in the top 5,000
I'll have you know that Serena aced Djokovic is a mixed doubles match. And I think you're retarded if you think Serena couldn't beat guys even in the top 20 on a good day (in a best 2/3 on a hard court or grass) with her serve and her game... Hahaha Come and get her!
Mixed Doubles is a lot harder to return serves than a single match. Serena or any other top 10 female on the WTA won't stand a chance against any male in the top 100. Personally, I think John Ishner and Ivo Karlovic would annihilate any of the top 10 females with astounding ease. Serena rely's on power to gain the advantage in her matches, without power... she's in a world of hurt.
I see Serena breaking Roddick's serve as highly doubtful, but if he sprayed a few forehands I bet she could take some games off of him.
As far as Serena getting "owned by any male pro ranked in the top 5,000"; you really don't know what you're talking about. Serena hits bigger than A LOT of male players and if she played at her highest level, I think it's highly likely she could beat the right top 20 dude.
first of all having a good respect to Roddick i like to say dat Serenas talent is no match for Rod,he is only a big serving guy with no sense whn to come to net,how to take chance.only big serve is not all......whr Serena is superb with her talent nd she proved so many times.Rod plays with hand only but Serena plays with head also.and she is much far ahead in shot choosing,forehand,back hand nd volley also............
Serena would so beat roddick, even now !!! Why you think the women have so much trouble....all he has on her is a serve she could beat him from the baseline she doesnt even hit as hard as she can during her matches, and lets not forget her serve is harder then most men on tour, and groundstrokes lol so she could definately take him out he would have to serve himself to victory to have a chance lol
I actually think Serena would beat him and if not it would be close, especially with the way Roddick plays...all loopy. His game is penetrating any more and a lot less powerful...plus Serena has more muscles than most women...
You know what you can do ? Try rematch with 0-40 handicap for every game in order to make it more competitive. That'll make it fun !! I'd love to see that. Tennis channel would buy that match.
