What ATP Rank can the number 1 WTA Beat?
For the first time last USO I was actually watching WTA matches. I throughly enjoyed watching Clijsters beat Serena. But what if she was facing a man instead of a Sheman? What ranking could she beat? I say it would be somewhere around 500.

Well, let's see...
World #621, Dusan Vemic, recently beat Gasquet in Qualies in New Haven, and is a top 70 player in doubles, so that takes anything above 600 out of play... World #708, Bohdan Ulihrach, was as high as #22 in his playing days, and beat Sampras twice, including once on HC. So that puts the 700s in tough range. World #922 Ross Hutchins recently played in DC for GBR (albeit not well - but probably better than any WTA player would have done) World #989 Nenad Zimonjic is a top doubles player, so obviously he has skills... It depends on matchup, of course, but it's hard for me to see any WTA player beating a man in the top 1000, unless the guy has a really bad day serving and off the ground. |

 It depends if we're talking about a best of 3 set match or best of 5. Stamina-wise, the WTA player may eventually get really tired.  |

Any highly ranked high school player or above can beat a top ranked women. When the women were in cincinnati Safina hit with my coach and he beat her easily in straights. Another kid at my club, a decently ranked sophomore in high school, lost to Wozniacki 3 and 3

Don't know this is even a thread. Physically there are many thousands of men who are stronger than the strongest woman. Strength alone will help beat a woman.
This is why wta and ATP are separate. To be top woman in the world is to beat every ( or almost every) woman which is incredible. Facing a mans serve ( and height and muscle gives men a huge advantage) doesn't really say much about tennis talent. Also height makes it harder to hit flat and hard and still be consistent over the net. Why are Venus and serena at top at older age (it's muscle and height) |

Nine-times tennis grand slam winner Serena Williams is still proud of defeating Andy Roddick in a one-set practice match when she was 11.
"My greatest match ... was when I was younger and I beat Andy Roddick. He'll hate me for saying that," Williams joked after beating Gisela Dulko 6-3 7-5 in the second round of the Australian Open. The 27-year-old Williams said the age difference, she is 11 months older than the men's seventh seed, was not a factor in her victory and the score was still in dispute. "It doesn't matter. Age doesn't matter," she said smiling. "There's an argument about the score. I think I beat him like 6-1. He says it was 6-4. "He always says he's ready for a rematch but there's no need for a rematch." Roddick, when questioned about the loss after his straight sets win over Tommy Robredo yesterday, saw the humour of the comments. "She forgets to mention that it was 1993 ... we were 10, and I had to literally run around in the shower to get wet,'' Roddick told the press conference. "I was [as skinny as a finger] and she was bench pressing dump trucks already at that time. I told her that yesterday, and she got a good laugh." http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/809675 |

There should be an option for: "None." I do not believe in a serious match that the best ever WTA player in her prime could ever beat the lowest ranked person on the circuit. Obviously, if the pro plays a young junior who goes on to become ranked in the ATP but isn't currently ranked, or a former pro who is no longer ranked, then it would probably be different
