I like his backhand. He only got one first serve in, didn't he?

He played the williams sisters, after they claimed they could beat the 200th ranked man, and they won a game or two.

He played the williams sisters, after they claimed they could beat the 100th ranked man, and they won a game or two.

At the time he was ranked around 100 I believe...

At the time he was ranked around 100 I believe...

"A fourth event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[20] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams, aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked below 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park.[21] Braasch first took on Venus and beat her 6–2. He then played Serena and won 6–1.[22] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance." He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun."[23]"

And he smoked during change overs. Great serve motion he had, with a full (Ljubicic type wind up.) I wonder if he took it easy on them. Arrogance unseen before in the history of the world. they would not even be able to beat any open player norcal who won a tournament. And those guys are not ranked and have no atp points usually. https://www.tennisplayer.net/tp_player/ivan-ljubicic/
