    I don't think Isner was being sexist, actually. The number 700 or 800 ranked man in the world probably would beat the number one woman. The Riggs Vs. King analogy isn't very convincing (she was in her prime and he was 55 years old) and the men's game is so deep that the number 800 ranked player is actually quite good. Men are not better than women, but they do possess certain physical attributes that allow them to play a quicker, more powerful game. Dinara Safina is a great player, but I agree with Isner, she'd get beaten most of the guys playing challenger events.

    How do you have a Battle of the Sexes between a Bobby and a Billie who both kiss girls?

    I was always afraid to challenge women at tennis, because my dad constantly reminded me that "Women were born to serve"

    He has a point. The 700th ranked man is Scott Peterson and the 800th ranked man is Henry VIII.
