Are There Any Top Level Female Players of Any Sport That Can Compete With Average Males at Their Own Sports?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes. In fact, it's a question that has been debated for quite a while, especially in the realm of tennis. In 1998, then-world No. 1 Martina Hingis played an exhibition match against Karsten Braasch, a male player ranked outside the top 200 at the time. Hingis won the match in straight sets, leading to much discussion about whether or not she could compete with male players at the highest level.
Since then, there have been a number of other examples of top female players competing against male players. In 2017, Serena Williams played an exhibition match against Thomas Muster, a former world No. 1. Williams lost the match, but she put up a good fight, winning several games.
In 2020, Naomi Osaka played an exhibition match against Nick Kyrgios, a top-ranked male player. Osaka won the match in straight sets, becoming the first woman to defeat a top-ranked male player in an exhibition match.
These are just a few examples of top female players competing against male players. While it's unlikely that any female player will ever be able to compete with the very best male players in the world, there are certainly a number of female players who can compete with average male players.
