Winning a point is a very low bar. You don’t have to beat her. You don’t have to win a set or a game. You just have to score a single point. All it takes is a single mistake from your opponent to win a point. With enough time even the best will make a mistake, and tennis matches are long.
The shortest possible game is 4 points. A set without a tie breaker has 6 games. A women’s tournament match is best 2 sets of 3. So at minimum a match of tennis has 48 points. You only need one.
If you’re passible enough to return the ball some of the time, and do a valid serve you will probably win a point at some point. She may be one of the best tennis players of all time, but she’s not infallible. Its really unlikely she wouldn’t mess up at least once.
Unless she kills you before you can score the point.
I feel like if the best reason one has for how they might be able to score a point on her is “but she could make a mistake” they’ve kind of conceded that it’s not actually possible.
I don’t know if one in 8 men even play tennis. I guess I would hit the ball but would it get over the net?
I know when I did tennis in gym class in high school I struggled to figure out how to keep the ball in the court.
The survey is specifying one game though, not a set or a tournament. I don’t know the rules of tennis, but i don’t think Serena will let a single point through.
Whoa, there partner. You can’t read and understand the way the question was framed, this is the internet!
She is the kind of person that wouldn’t disrespect an opponent by playing a lazy game, so 100% this.
Tennis isn’t played one game at a time. It is played one match at a time. Any point is one point in a game.
And this is where reading comprehension is important. It doesn’t say what you want it to say. It says “game”. Not match, not set, not anything else.

No. Just no. You’re the 1 in 8 delusional person who thinks they could take on a top 1% athlete just because she’s a woman.
If you actually had the reading comprehension that you claim you would have noticed that only men were surveyed.
You know I didn’t consider this as a problem where games and time approach infinity.
You see, Serena Williams has a preset kill limit. Knowing her weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at her until she reached her limit and shut down.
