Venus and Serena Williams aged 17 and 16 respectively, had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park,after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two beers. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2.
友誼賽才進行25分鐘，國家女足隊就被踢進4球，教練指揮的聲音越來越弱；但男高中生並沒有因此放慢速度，持續攻城掠地，整場比賽下來，女足幾乎拿不到球權進攻。
女足隊先發受訪時透露，和這批男高生交手時驚訝發現，那完全不是女人能跟上的速度，和在美國的時候完全不同。但她也說，會吸取這次的教訓，成為經驗的一部分。
