Federer loses them all.

[/ QUOTE ]

You agree that in a regular singles match that neither sister would ever win a game off Federer right?

[/ QUOTE ]


I think everyone will agree that in a 3 set singles match Federer would obliterate either one 6-0 6-0, but that wasn't the question.

I don't think the Williams' win easy or every time in a match like this but I think they win more than they lose. Assuming of course that they are both healthy and playing good tennis. Something Venus hasn't really done in several years.

No, if Serena/Venus win, it's oh nobody can overcome the handicap that Federer had to deal with. And if they lose, omg, women suck.

basically women have nothing to gain from this event. at the same time the only thing federer has to gain is to completely shame women. i don't see this match ever happening.

Federer would destroy each sister individually. But palying two people is just not really fair.

Two Williams' would beat Federer handilly. He'd be running his ass all over the court and they'd be chilling

isn't the power difference something sick like 15-20mph on the serve and prob 10-15 on good returns??

like some highschool guy having to go out and hit against Santana

When I played tennis in high school, varsity players were routinely serving around 115-120 mph. The top ATP pros serve at about 150-160 mph. I'm pretty sure that women serve in the low 100's at best.

That being said, Federer probably can't break a point, but might win on his serve simply due to unforced errors and crappy returns that he easily puts away.
