What is Soldiers disease. The Civil War produced over 400,000 persons afflicted with it.

Bobby Riggs
Karsten Braasch did what Riggs did, by playing women. He played the Williams sisters in 1998 after they said that they can easily beat the 200th or lower ranked man on the ATP circuit.

Braasch was ranked 203 at the time and took the challenge he was 15 years older than them, he easiliy beat Serena 6-1, then beat Serena 6-2.

He even drank beer and smoked during the changeovers to rub it into the girls. After beating the sisters, he admitted taking it easy on the girls and said that they could not have even beaten the 500th ranked man inthe world beacuse he played like the 600th ranked man, just to keep the challenge entertaining.
