I used to play tennis very casually in high school but haven't played for about 7 years till spring this year. I got my technique back pretty quickly by playing against the wall for the past month. My father used to be a pretty good tennis player in the old country so he knows what he's talking about and he watched me play. He told me that my hitting power is already far higher than any female player he's ever seen (granted I outlift 99% of the population), it's just my technique is sloppy. If the man has passable cardio and technique they should be able to win every single time.

I'm pretty sure if I were to play tennis consistently for about 3-5 years and get my technique perfect, I could hang with midtier WTA players. Cardio and speed wouldn't be an issue despite having 20 lb of lean muscle mass over the average tennis player.

I've taken on 2 ollege basketball players in my 40s and beat them 6-0, 6-1 because they said they were top junior players, but they were not at the top of their game.

I force a John McEnroe Serena Williams match in the future, similar to Billie Jean King/Bobbie Riggs Battle of the Sexes.

I compete at the 4.0-4.5 level of tennis by the way. Any tennis date has always resulted in a complete disaster because the man couldn't handle losing. Never led to a 2nd date. I would suggest that we just hit because I knew his male ego couldn't handle the loss, but he'd get bored and say "let's play games".

I can easily beat a man who is at 3.0-3.5 level, and most men on dating sites would just post that they play tennis for social reasons, so they are more like a 2.5 level or lower.

That man cannot compete against a 4.5 women, even if she's 30 years older than he is.
Any person at the 3-3.5 level does not have consistent strokes and is still learning the mechanics of the game. Losing because you're bad and losing because you were beaten are two very different things.

Title IX needs to go in general.

Funding for sports should be based on potential income male or female. If football and basketball are the only sports that can generate enough interest to turn a profit at the hs/college level, so be it. A lot of sports cost schools money, and I feel like those millions could be better used to improve the campus for the general student body.

Sponsoring sports leagues that will never make money makes absolutely zero sense, I'm looking at you WNBA. If they weren't mooching off their big bro, they'd have gone under long ago.

Let women focus on sports or other ventures that will actually turn a profit. I shouldn't have to subsidize your hobby, whether male or female.

good on him.
This. He didn't open up the door to attack Serena; he called herthe greatest female tennis player in the world. The fact that someone insisted he remove the "female" condition of his statement isn't his problem.

The left, for all their claims to be all about science, is hopelessly lost when it comes to gender differences. Didn't Serena challenge male players outside of the top 200, was accepted on that challenge, and got embarrassed?

EDIT: Serena in 2013:
“Actually it’s funny, because Andy Murray, he’s been joking about myself and him playing a match. I’m like, ‘Andy, seriously, are you kidding me?’ For me, mens’ tennis and womens’ tennis are completely, almost, two separate sports. If I were to play Andy Murray, I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in five to six minutes, maybe 10 minutes. No, it’s true. It’s a completely different sport. The men are a lot faster and they serve harder, they hit harder, it’s just a different game. I love to play women’s tennis. I only want to play girls, because i don’t want to be embarrassed. I would not do the tour, I would not do Billie Jean [King] any disservice. So Andy, stop it. I’m not going to let you kill me.”

So, what are people upset about, again?
All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

He was actually being nice to her... she wouldn't get in the top 1000 rankings for men. She has dominated women's tennis due to her physicality, what happens when she is going against men who are more powerful, faster and more agile than her.

This. Physicality doesn't matter that much when you suck. 3.0-3.5 players suck. I don't care how athletic they are. If they were good tennis players, they'd get bumped up.

At club player levels, a half point difference in NPRT rating is a competitive match up.
