Andy Murray keen on Serena Williams showdown

Andy Murray keen to have a showdown with Serena Williams at Las Vegas.

Andy Murray has said he would be up for a battle against Serena Williams and even suggested Las Vegas as a venue.

Murray replied to a twitter user that he might be defeated by Williams on grass but didn’t dismiss the challenge of playing her.

In his BBC Sport column, Andy Murray wrote: “I have been challenged by someone on Twitter to taking on Serena Williams. I’d be up for it, why not?

“I’ve never hit with her but she’s obviously an incredible player and I think people would be interested to see the men play against the women to see how the styles match up.

“It’s happened in the past with Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova. How about Las Vegas as a venue?”

This revives memories of matches that were played in the 1970s when Bobby Riggs took on Margaret Court and Billie Jean King. Such matches used to draw a lot of attention and it was known as the Battle of the Sexes.
