Biden’s new law allows men to play on women’s comps.

Men’s pro tennis plays best of 5 sets.

Women’s pro only plays best of 3 sets.

Women’s number one player would generally fall around the rank of 700 or lower in a men’s comp.

For reference:

1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sister

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[57] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple of bottles of ice cold lager".[58][57] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[59] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[57] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun"[60] and that the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier and put spin on the ball that female players can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.[57]

Except for Mary Joe Fernández, and maybe two or three others, all women tennis players are ugly.

If Boris Becker wears a skirt and plays WTA tennis matches, it may actually be hard to differentiate him from many of the female players.

There should be a separate tennis championship for attractive women only.

I'd still have to mute it. Their shrieking with every hit is insufferable.
