Billie Jean King and Ivan Lendl Q&A - Part 1 of 2

Following our tennis clinic and lunch, there was a Q&A session with tennis champions Billie Jean King and Ivan Lendl, held at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills NY, on September 8, 2017 (just before the release of the BJK movie, Battle of the Sexes)

I agree Top women couldn't beat the 3000 ranked man 😮

Billy Jean is still deluded. Serena will NOT beat the 700 ranked guy. McEnroe was being generous. The advantage in speed and strength is too much. In fact, even between two men, if Federer is just a bit slower or weaker than his usual self, the 100 ranked guy could take him out. 116 ranked Stakohovsky did take him out at Wimbledon in 2013. And to the naked eye, it was not easy to discern the difference from Federer's normal game. But between men and women, you can clearly see the difference in speed and strength between Serena Williams and even top NCAA male college players. So absolutely no chance for her to beat the 700 ranked guy. Ask Lendl that question instead of the feminist BJK.
