I remember a night show host, maybe Fallon or Kimmel, questioning/implying that Serena could beat a male player. (Serena was the guest)
She said she couldn’t even beat a guy that was in the top 150.
I think the host might have mentioned Andy Murray, who was in the top ten at the time...
Serena was being honest. Your average male college player can beat the high seeded female pros..
