My first job out of college was working at a professional tennis tournament that Serena Williams played in - I think it was her 2nd tournament ever. My 2nd job out of college was working for the men's senior tenns tour where John McEnroe played.
So that makes me an expert.
1. To the jackass who doesn't think Serena Williams is an AMAZING athlete, and who called her fat, you are a fool. Stop. She's an unreal athlete.
2. I'd love to see the two of them play. Everyone was into Venus but Serena's dad told me his younger daughter was even better and that they'd end up caling her "Blackenroe" as she would charge the net like John. So it would be kind of ironic.
3. I had always heard about King vs Riggs but never knew he had beaten Margaret Court earlier that year. So we know a 55-year old man could beat the #1 woman 40 years ago. But I think women's tennis has improved more than men's in that time fram. And plus 59 isn't 55. So I think it's possible he would win but far from a guarantee. I think she'd likely win but imagine people could figure it out by looking at average velocity and what not for their most recent matches.
