I want to see Serena in the ATP. Who is with me?

[davced1]

I think Serena has proven that she is too good for the WTA. It would be very interesting to see how she would do against some real opposition, both for us and for her. Time to play some ATP tennis for Serena?

This board can be so stupid.

What is stupid about it? Sorenstam did play a PGA tour event in golf, remember?

 

[tennisdad65]

I would like to see how she fares on the Legends tour first.. against Lendl and Mac

 

[ser_renely]

The gap is so big between the two she would struggle to be in the top 500.

Disagree. Struggle suggests she may actually make it in top 500.
No way.

 

[davced1]

Yes I agree it's a big gap between the ATP and the WTA but Serena is obviously way ahead of the rest of the WTA. Her serve would hold up against the men and she hits hard enough so why not?

Unlike her golf counterpart, Michelle Wie, I think Serena could make a decent showing against men's pro tennis players.

Michelle Wie, not so much.

True.

I think top college guys could put her away.

Maybe Serena should switch to a 1hbh or use a smaller racket....

Stupidity. Another Serena bash from ignorant people who have no idea what Serena has gone through and achieved but just want to make a flippant, snarky comment.

This is a joke right?

I agree that it would be interesting, just to see how big the gap between ATP and WTA actually is.. because imo the gap is really, really big.. like.. grand canyon big..

(don't get me wrong, I'm a big Serena fan)

A better idea. I want to see the OP in the ATP.

I know. That's like saying Cynthia Cooper can compete in the NBA.

I would love to play in the ATP but it is not going to happen. I can play you anytime though. Drop me a note if you come to Sweden. :twisted:

Basketball and tennis are very different sports. There are female race drivers among the men you know.

Would be funny.

So far, your examples have been in Race-car driving and Golf. Those sports are so much less inherently physical than tennis that they don't really apply. Serena's movement is what would kill her. Her first serve is there. Second serve is a little slow, but her first-serve percentage would cover that. The biggest problem is just speed and movement, as well as sheer power from the ground.

Like tennis, basketball also requires speed, athleticism, strength, stamina which Serena lacks in all categories. Race drivers only sit, lol.

I can assure you that it was not my intention to bash her in any way. I was just so fired up after the final and her French Open in general so the question just popped into my mind. I am really impressed by Serena, best female player ever in my opinion.
