Didn't Roddick say on some talk show that in a McEnroe-Serena match,his money would still be on McEnroe even now as a 50+ year old...
 
The funny thing is that that vetaran player than smoked was droping his rankings after that AO to under 500 and said that if they think they (Serena and Venus) can beat a player ranked outside of TOP500, he's wiling to play them next week :lol:
Joke aside, probably she could beat a few of the TOP400 on a their bad day and on her good day. And if you think guys from TOp500 and bunch of girls that can't hit hard enough, think again. Let's say Ilija Bozoljac who is ranked 376. would blow her of the court. And it also depends on the importance of the match. If it was an exho, then she could even compete with some top100 players, but in a Slam she would be lucky go beat some WC and get in to R2

Sad thing is I don't think you're trolling. Go watch some challengers sometime and you will see how clueless you are.
you're on drugs if any of you think that a rank 500 mens player would beat her. you're just 100% wrong if you are trying to say that any players in that range hit the ball as hard as she does and REMAIN consistant. it just is not true. there are players ranked in the top 100 who hit the ball weaker than her... that obviously is not the entirety of what matters in the sport but I am just blown that you all are saying this, your gauge meter on her is way TOO low and way TOO high on the 500 players. at 17 she only won 2 games against a veteran player who was ranked 200 NOT 500, but she is multiple times better than she was then.

I am not advocating the womens game is anywhere near the level of the mens, but to say that Serena Williams could not beat players beyond the top couple hundred in the mens game is just insulting

She could beat Karlovic 6-1,6-2 if there was no serving and games just started from a neutral position
 
:lol:

keep this going
it would be understandable, that being your opinion on the top 10 womens players, but Serena Williams is way out of the league of any other player in the WTA

You think they are ranked 'so' low bcs they can't hit the ball?? You think Rosol was ranked outside of TOP100 few months ago bcs he couldn't hit the ball? You think they don't work out or what? As I mentioned Bozoljac, you think Serena hits the ball harded then him? And pls tell who is the TOP50 guy that you think could lose to Serena?

The ugly ballbashing mug would get double bageled by any male pro player playing seriously. Seriously, it's like a whole different sport, Serena might rule over his fellow brainless WTA ballbashers, but she has no chance against any ATP player , not even to get a game let alone a set or match.

Serena is not a ballbasher. Have you even watched her play a full match in the last 7 years?

I don't remember where I read this, but I recall a top WTA player saying that she could not beat her brother (or maybe a relative's brother?), who was ranked around 800 on the ATP tour. Top WTA players would lose to ATP players outside of the Top 1000.
 
Well I beat a girl ranked around 250 in WTA 6-1 6-2 having hangover and I haven't touched a racket for 3 weeks. That said, If I play somebody ranked 900-1000 in ATP I usually lose with the same scoreline. Go figure.

To be honest, in an exo you're taking away Serena's biggest advantage: her clutch play. In a exo or practice nobody would feel any pressure, Cilic would have beaten Murray in such a scenario. So if Serena played an ATPer (let's say no. 300) on some big stage (Ashe on a windy day) with something big on the line, it's not unlikely the male chokes and Serena elevates her game. Yes, it is not a realistic scenario unless Serena straight up entered a challenger and it somehow took place at Flushing Meadows.
 
As for Serena, I think she could be ranked around 500-600 in ATP.

I haven't been around all year, but Mountaindewslave and cveks should be very high seeds for the ACC, based on their peak clowning ability.
