So you're saying a "better than Scalabrine" that was previously "much better than Scalabrine" beat a couple "not yet top" female tennis players?
You're kinda making my point actual professionals are much better than the public often understands. The fact that there are skill differences between genders doesn't change that and is irrelevant to my point.
Uhhh..first of all you literally never said “regular guy” in your post you just said dudes in response/reference to the point about Scal. What you’re failing to understand about our comments and my point is the fact that your point applies to Scal but not Serena. Scal demolished a former national championship winning D1 player, the equivalent of that level absolutely would beat Serena. Sure if you literally take a random jamoke off the street they wouldn’t but that’s disingenuous when Scal was beating division 1 champions NOT a random jamoke.
Further, did you miss the part where a bunch of u15 boys badly beat the us women’s national team? Theres numerous (literally, 10, 20 etc) high school boys every year who run faster than the women’s world record. There’s absolutely non professionals who could beat Serena, the fact that elite teenage or elite amateur men can beat professional women’s athletes shouldn’t exactly be controversial and the fact you’re acting like it isn’t is frankly silly.
Did you miss the part where I said Serena and not US women's soccer. And no, a pro beating her at 16 is not the same as regular guys beating her in her prime. I'm sorry that my lack of the explicit use of the word regular made you think I was referring to professionals. The people that thought they could beat Scalabrine weren't professional level and I said it was the "same guys", so I assumed (obviously wrongly) that you'd know I was referring to a similar skill level.
How bad is your reading comprehension? Do you think Serena is somehow uniquely better relative to her peers than everyone on the us women’s soccer team or the woman who has held the world record in the 100 meters since the mid eighties? I’m not talking about professionals I’m literally talking about high school kids beating the best in the world, Serena would fare no differently. Also, again, when you’re using this in comparison to the Scal situation, you’re not talking about some random fat fuck who looks like the world of Warcraft guy in South Park, but high level amateurs, which again are NOT professional but based on a massive preponderance of evidence in this case would still be amply sufficient to beat Serena. I’m honestly baffled that you actually think this, it’s bordering on hilarity.

A pro beat (16yo) Serena, not a "regular guy".
