text: ultimate tennis exhibition who would win??? give an answer for each matchup.  first the women serena williams, venus williams, lindsay davenport, maria sharapova, and amelie mauresmo. they play singles against john mcenroe who is fresh off his atp doubles championship.  he plays one woman per week.  the women get to use all the court including the doubles alley.  the women get three serves every point and mcenroe gets only one.  does mcenroe lose every match, beat some players and lose to others, wins every match.  your opinion on what i see as a fairly even contest. if the only handicap you gave mcenroe was one serve, i'd say johnny mac would kill them all. the fact is johnny mac never really needed more than one serve. with his wonderful slice spin, excellent direction, and relatively fast speed, john seldom double-faulted and baffled many good players.  however, when you throw in the additional handicap of giving the women the doubles alleys to hit into, every single female tennis player you cited would kick john's butt.  indeed, each one of them can hit with enough angle and speed to not only hit a fair amount of winners, but also wear poor old john out.
