Why do we even care? Putting a woman against a man in almost anything, the man will win, we're acting all proud about it and beating our chests lol, so what?

I recently played a woman ranked in the 450's and won 6-4, 6-2. I'm definitely not a pro. She was easily overpowered and couldn't handle my serve.

You should've seen Serena after she hit an ace against Roddick, the worst returner in the ATP. She was hugging the people nearby as if she saved a nation.

Pathetic.

Yet THIS is the "strong era, on the highest level ever". Go figure.

So basically, without a single leg to stand on, you consider he the greatest player ever.....because? She is about as much the greatest as Djokovic is.

Serena is no regular woman. And you probably should've watched 2002 Serena. Inside the top 500 is no joke.

Currently she would probably be a low end top 1000 at best.

Serena would hit a few return winners once in a while (and miss many others)...that's about all she could hope to try to do.

Serena wouldn't win a single game off anyone in the top 10.

Yep. Even at sports that don't require physical exertion, like darts and golf.

Golf does require physical exertion. Kind of different to drive a gold ball as male.

I remember a funny moment from the AO 2010 Hit for Haiti event. Djokovic throws up a serve, hits it meekly but with lots of direction, and aces Serena bad. Serena did not even more a muscle. Afterwards, Serena made Djokovic feel bad "Yeah, Novak. You looked really good aceing us".
