Can you explain why the singles player has the advantage? Because I was leaning towards the Williams sisters on all of these.

If Shaq in his prime went up against two star WNBA players, do you honestly think the WNBA players would ever come close? How could they ever stop him? The gap in athleticism between the sexes in basketball translates almost identically to tennis.

It may, but I don't see how. In tennis having two people really makes it much easier to cover more ground, which goes a long way towards negating his speed, as well as conserving energy and such. In basketball, on defense anyway, it doesn't matter. Shaq is a beast, and unless you are allowed to use foreign objects two smaller not very talented women aren't going to be much better than one.
