Truly great woman tennis player, her sister was no slouch either. However, as good as they were during their careers, they have no business being subjected to playing against men in women's sports.
Neither Serena nor Venus Williams have ever beaten a top-ranked male tennis player in a competitive match; in fact, they lost to the 203rd ranked male player, Karsten Braasch, in 1998 after claiming they could beat any man ranked below 200.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- The "Battle of the Sexes" Match: In 1998, during the Australian Open, Serena and Venus Williams, then 16 and 17, made a statement that they could beat any male player ranked below 200.
- Braasch's Challenge: A German player, Karsten Braasch, who was ranked 203rd, stepped up to the challenge.
- The Outcome: Braasch, after playing a round of golf and drinking a couple of beers, defeated both Venus (6-2) and Serena (6-1) in exhibition matches.
- Braasch stated that he played like a 600th ranked player to keep it fun.
