Ever wondered how male athletes *really* answer the question, "Who's your favorite female athlete?" This tier list dives into the spectrum of responses, from genuine admiration to awkward silence. We're ranking the answers based on how much they reveal about actual knowledge and engagement with women's sports. See where athletes land, whether they can name a specific accomplishment of Serena Williams, offer a thoughtful explanation, or just default to "figure skater" or their own wife.
