If you had taken a few seconds of your time and looked it up you would have known that the matches against Karsten Braasch came to be because Serena claimed she would beat any man outside the top 200. Karsten accepted the challenge and rekt both Williams sisters after having prepared with playing Golf and drinking a few beer, while chain smoking, which he also did during breaks. He even handicapped himself, giving himself only first serve instead of being allowed two and took 50% off the power to "keep it fun". After that Serena said she would beat a top 350 player. The next thing was the interview in this video. She definitely overestimated her powers compared to men and learned her lesson when playing Braasch.

Have Serena play against some weekend players in some local tennis club's men's tournament and she's stand a really good chance of winning. Put her on the men's pro circuit and she'd be crushed. She's smart enough to know that and she has my respect for admitting it. Just for some context, Serena's serve speed has been clocked at 106 mph (155 fps) and Andy Murray has been clocked at 141 mph (206 fps). Considering that a serve only has to cross 78 ft it takes 0.38 seconds for Andy's serve to get to Serena and 0.5 seconds for Serena's serve to get to Andy. That 0.12 seconds is huge when it comes to reaction and motion as it means the ball would be 9 feet past Serena if she reacted as she normally would playing a woman..

She could beat a professional male. It just won't be someone in the top 50 or even 100, in world rankings.

I love Andy because he has such a massive great respect to not only the Williams sisters put to women just in general! And he knows that he would win but the fact that he knows that she would put up one of the best battles of all the womens tour just to try to beat him makes it even better #ourqueen

Djokovic is more realistic than Murray when he talks about prize money though. Yeah yeah Andy is nice, but he should face the truth: female tennis is boring and nobody watches it.
