(11,582 posts)No one could possibly argue that Serena Williams is right at the top of women's tennis, no matter what era. Both Williams sisters had/have size and power along with great technique and every other attribute a player could want, to roll right over all other female competitors, and for year after year.
If you stood her beside any other female professional I can think of, you would see a marked difference in physiology.
All that said, when she was offered a match with Andy Murray, she declined, saying she had no wish to be humiliated, and said she would lose 6-0, 6-0, "in about 5 minutes."
Andy Murray is currently ranked #102.
As I said, the comparison is not exact, but still apt. The Williams sisters are/were not just at, but WERE the pinnacle of women's tennis. All time. Yet, she freely and without reservation, said she would be annihilated by a player mired nowhere near the top of the men's division.
