John McEnroe raised ire over his comments about Serena Williams being ranked No. 700 if she played on the men's tour. Since then, Williams has fired back at McEnroe with a pair of Tweets telling him to respect her privacy while she delivers a baby. After McEnroe refused to apologize for his comments, some of the most interesting input on the entire story has come from Billie Jean King. King, who knows something about playing men in cross-gender tennis matches, asserted on Boomer & Carton that McEnroe has been trying to get Williams to play him for the past 15 years.
