‘Don’t Like That Part’- ‘Superbrat’ John McEnroe Recently Recalled Distasteful Serena Williams Comparison That Bothered Him for 25 Years

The Battle of Sexes match in tennis was the breakthrough in bringing popularity to Women’s tennis. The original nine, including the tennis great Billie Jean King, laid the foundation of the Women’s Tennis Association. And a few years back, a movie was made on the same game, involving Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. However, the Super Brat of tennis while reviewing the movie didn’t like a part that involved both him and the American tennis legend, Serena Williams.

There have been many matches between male and female tennis players; including the one between Bobby Riggs and Margaret Court (who still holds the record for most Grand Slam wins) where the former won the match against the legends. Despite the fact that McEnroe has never faced the 23-time Grand Slam champion, he still has to bear the brunt for a potential match prediction and result for 25 years!
