What? That's not right mate. Wimbledon has had ladies tennis since 1884. Lawn tennis, backyard tennis, local competitions, tennis clubs and more have basically always had women playing.
The shit they had to wear however was not equal to the men, fucking corsets to play tennis in.
Women's tennis was also introduced at the Olympics in 1896 -

Seen them both in person and watched their matches.
She’s built like a tank and looks sexy in person.
What’s interesting is men tennis players are skinny as fuck, almost like wow that’s weird.
Serena would lose against Roger. Now prime Serena, she could may have a chance against randoms

Ultra endurance competitions possibly
Are women better ultra-endurance athletes than men?
Fiona Kolbinger won a 2,485-mile cycling race by 10 hours this week. Her case is far from isolated.www.bbc.com
I did a lot of triathlon races and in no way woman can compete there.
Also boxing, some random nobody vs legendary female boxer that decked every other female way above the female league
Jup goes exactly as you would expect. Now imagine mike tyson standing in that ring. Instant graveyard stone.

She’s a phenomenal tennis player but let’s be real here, she would be destroyed.

Actually there's a weird, known phenomenon that men significantly outperform women in chess. A read an article on it once and it was pretty strange. I think like 2 of the top 100 players are women or something.

Young prime Serena could move on the court and has a big serve. Easily best randoms off the street. Now a random D1 tennis would be competitive. I think she could beat some. The question I would have is how many sets. 3 or 5
Main difference I’ve noticed watching matches in person of men vs women is the power and speed of the ball the men can hit.

I think it just speaks to the differences inherent in men and women especially at the ends of the distribution.

I think Federer will win. But Serena would really give him a tough competition

No. Absolutely not. Federer makes fairly easy work of many top 100 men still. Serena has never been close to a top 100 male tennis player.

I dont think in our history has a woman athlete bested a male. Its basic biology and men athletics is just always a bar higher than females. Not saying female athletes arent good but there is a difference. If there wasnt we wouldnt split it up by gender in the first place.

Watching women play tennis is like watching men play in slow motion

Karsten Braasch is the German tennis player who did just that in 1998. "At the time I was ranked 203"

The boys did and the Women's Olympic team is basically the same World Cup team.

Federer is used to the flow of playing against people that are let's just say 30% faster at serving, hitting, and moving. Not only is he used to it, he's one of the greatest of all time at it.
Why would then playing someone where the flow is slowed down across the board not seem like literal child's play.
If he was trying at a normal 100% I don't expect much scoring for Serena aside from unforced errors and serving faults.
I think Nadal on clay vs Serena would be even more ridiculous.

Nadal against anyone on Clay is ridiculous.
He makes most of the best male tennis players look like they don't know what they are doing.

Never. And I'm sure it's been posted, she would agree with me. You either don't actually play or watch a lot of tennis or just like posting clickbait

I think ultra-marathon is the only sport where it has been observed that women have a tiny advantage over men (200 miles+ runs). Other than that I don't know.

She actually did. I started kickboxing last year so I was slightly interested by the video posted. Let's just say that 'a man' is a slight understatement:

Despite what the english wikipedia claims, that guy was an amateur. Nobody knows him except for the fact that he knocked "the greatest female fighter ever", he's a nobody that the promoters of the fight tried to sell as a "champion" to make it more exciting.
In his Facebook page says he works as a plasterer since 1994 (the date of his fight). He also has 4 followers on Twitter.
