braasch

Karsten Braasch (peaked out at around 40th worldwide) beat both of the Williams sisters (both rank 1 players) back-to-back.

In the most recent such major exhibition, Karsten Braasch easily defeated both Williams sisters even though he was only ranked #203.

Before the matches, Braasch played a round of golf in the morning, drank a couple of beers, smoked a few cigarettes, and then played the Williams sisters for a set each, one after the other.

Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.[54] Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance".

In fact there are "battle of sexes" type exhibition matches that demonstrate the rough placement eg Braasch vs.

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open[51] between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters.

The challenge was accepted by Karsten Braasch, a German player ranked No 203 (his highest ranking was No 38).

More about that here with the 1998 match between the Williams sisters and Braasch.

Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both.

Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[52][51] The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,[53] after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies.

The Williams sisters had a lot more money and access to better nutritionists than Karsten Braasch, who was placed a lowly ~200 in the ATP rankings (and he used to smoke cigarettes, also).

Schiller portrayed it as a drop in quality, apparently: Another 9to5Mac reader, Clayton Braasch, claims to have emailed Schiller directly, asking him to elaborate upon the statement.
