Actually the sisters were trying to defeat the 100th best male tennis player in the world. He turned out to be this drunk, who had a very lax training regimen, smoked on the court during breaks and played them softballs on purpose so they would have a chance. They still lost miserably.

Afterwards they changed it to something like the 130th. The guy turned right around and told them to get a rematch, as his rank had just dropped to that......I think they gave up challenging male Tennis players after that.

That's... a joke right? Especially that first part? Surely that didn't actually happen?

I know, right? It's true though. I got my facts wrong though, it was outside of the 200 best male players, and he was the 203rd at the time:
