GARCIA-NAVARRO: Some wouldn't qualify it; some would say she's the best player in the world. Why qualify it?


Actually this is the more offensive comment.

Forget even mentioning Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray because it would be an asinine suggestion to say the least. Just try imagining Serena playing someone like Del Potro, Raonic or even a Fognini or a Verdasco. I don't see any scenario where she doesn't get double bagelled.

This female revolution thing for Women's sports is great and I love that women are treated equally important as men like they should but there is a certain point where you just draw a line.

Just imagine these ridiculous male/female match ups in your head and tell me they are equals with a straight face.

Federer/Serena - 5 set Wimbledon Match

Best NBA team/Best WNBA team - Series Playoffs (sorry don't watch basketball but I know the ridiculous difference between the NBA and WNBA teams)

Barcelona F.C/FIFA Women's Dream Team

Cain Velasquez/Amanda Numes - UFC Heavyweight Championship

Brock Lesnar/Charlotte - WWE Championship

actually, this post kind of gets to the point of it

people will call floyd mayweather or andre ward the best boxer on earth, but there's no way they could handle anthony joshua or wladimir klistchko

so in that sense, calling serena #1 is understandable, even if she wouldn't beat everyone she was matched against
