There are always exceptions, as I'm sure Martina Navratilova would agree.

Then there was the 'Battle of the Sexes' in 1973, when Mrs Billie Jean King whupped and defeated Bobby Riggs, a former Wimbledon champion, 6-4 6-3 6-3, in what would have been a five set match if Riggs had been more of a challenge.
