I would have been impressed if she defeated John Newcobe.
Both relatively the same age with multiple major championships to their names.
But beating a 55 year old, give me a break.
Let’s flip the Billie Jean v. Bobbie Riggs scenario.
Roger Federer is 37.
Steffi Graf is 50.
Federer destroys Graf in straight sets.
For that matter, Serena is the same age as Federer and she would lose to him.
Your Billie Jean vs. Riggs is a joke comparison.
