I agree 100%. Good Division I players would beat the Williams sisters. Now, CAN Serena beat a top 500 pro? Sure, on any given day it COULD happen. But McEnroe's larger point is that Serena wouldn't rank in the top 700 if she played on the men's tour because she would consistently get trounced by top 500 men's players. And if people disagree, then let Serena (and other women) join the men's tour and see how it goes. I suspect nobody really wants that. For the record, BTW, I think Serena is the greatest women's player of all time and it's not real close. I also think she's one of the greatest women's athletes of all time, perhaps the greatest. Why can't that be enough? Why drag Mac into a no-win argument about Serena playing men?

Well, it depends if you view Men and Women's tennis as the same sport. I don't think it is controversial to call Serena William's the greatest player of all time. Women and men's tennis is separate for a reason - and I would never think that calling Serena the greatest player would pit her up against Djokovic, Nadal or Federer. McEnroe is obviously right about where she's be ranked on the men's circuit - that should not be controversial - but I can certainly see why conflating men and women's tennis could be seen as belittling women's tennis and Serena regardless of intent.

And McEnroe's response was logical and reasonable, that she can't be considered the best overall player ever, because there are hundreds of men at any given time period who would beat her at tennis.

Let's use an objective measure. The 100m world record for women is FloJo's 10.49sec established in 1988. No woman has even come close to that record in some time. The most recent top time is 10.70sec by Elaine Thompson of Jamaica in the 2016 Olympics. The men's 100m world record was already 10.4 in 1921 (Charles Paddock). In fact, with a time of 10.49sec a man cannot compete in the Olympics. His time would below the qualification standard. Hence, one can estimate that the top 100m woman sprinter would probably be ranked about 700 amongst the men's 100m runners. Clearly, one cannot compare men and women athletes against each other. This doesn't in any way diminish the accomplishments of the women. In sports, one competes against one's peers and one's greatness is determined by how well one performs against one's peers. Serena, Elaine Thompson, Muhammad Ali, Babe Didrikson, Diana Taurasi, Tom Brady, LeBron James, Messi et al are all great at their sports. McEnroe is only guilty of poor judgment. He probably shouldn't have allowed himself to be baited into answering a question that would only get the Twitterverse working in overdrive.

But we do have an idea regarding Annika Sorenstam against men. Annika played in the PGA Tour event during the 2003 season at the Bank of America Colonial tournament. During this time we need to remember that Annika was on her “A” game and completely dominating the LPGA where she was basically winning about 40 to 50 of the tournaments she played in. She played the tournament via a sponsors exemption and it was chosen by Annika due to it being one of the shortest courses on the PGA tour that year. Annika played reasonably well, however she missed the cut by 4 strokes. After the tournament Annika didn’t want to play in future PGA events due to how much the week was strenuous for her. Annika knew she wouldn’t be able to make a living playing PGA tour events and that destroying the competition on the LPGA would be much more lucrative.

There may be WNBA players that can shoot a higher percentage than many NBA players... Certain skills that might be better than some NBA players....But not if you put an NBA defensive player in front of her.

The 2003 top ten were top heavy (pun intended) overweight pudgy golfers. Today, they are much more fit and in shape. Tiger had the most impact, but the fact that a very great women's golfer came closer to making the cut was also a reason.

Actually I get the feeling McEnroe said 700 to be polite, he could be beaten by a lot more male pros than that. And I dont want to understimate Serena, he is incredibly strong for a woman, she hits hard and has great technique but she doesnt have the pace to compete against 99% of male pro tennis players. Actually I get the feeling most male college players would rank in the top 50 if they were female. I mean, women play to the best of 3, men wouldnt even break a sweat.

700 is ridiculous. She couldn't beat anyone in the Top 2000. Nearly every college male player would defeat her.

Men and women have equal rights as they should but they are from from equal, especially in sports.

Was not Top 20 in my conference running 100M D1. I would have been Top 5 in the country as a female. Track is so objective, it is too easy. There are so many amazing women athletes that would wreck me. But, going from tennis to track makes it quite clear, at least in college

Hey, Dan. As soon as the Women's Pro Tennis players start playing best of 5 to win a match, then come talk to me. Why can't their matches be best of 5, too hard for them????

The idea that she would have at any point ranked 700 when there's over 2000 pro men's players is a joke. As dominant as she was against the women there's no way she's beating the worst of the worst men's pros. He was being way too kind with that statement

Do pound for pound rankings for Tennis. In boxing, Sugar Ray is virtually considered the greatest. But could a 146 pound or 160 pound Ray beat a 250 pound George Foreman? Michael Rapport should being up the obvious
