John McEnroe Says Serena Williams Would Rank 700 In Men’s Tennis. He’s Actually Right.

On Sunday, while promoting his new book But Seriously, tennis legend John McEnroe uttered a controversial truth about female tennis phenom Serena Williams: Williams, dominant in the women’s game, would rank “like 700 in the world” on the men’s side.

McEnroe explained that while there is “no question” Williams is the “best female player ever,” the men’s circuit “would be an entirely different story.”
