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.
Do we know though if the survey clarified, that by game they mean a game in the Tennis sense, so up to 4 points, or if it means the typical way the game is played, which is in a match of 3?
E.g. when i talk about playing a round of counter-strike i also mean to play a game of 15/15 and not a single 3 minute round. Meanwhile in football the term is also a “match” but we call the halves halves and not “games”.
The way terms are used differ from popular language and specific language, so it needs to be clarified.
The question is “Could you win a point in a game of tennis…”. Technically it doesn’t specify that it has to be a single game. You could play a million games against her, and as long as you score one point, you still “won a point in a game of tennis”. Notably, it also says “could” rather than “would” so its just asking for a >0% possibility, under any circumstance. She is still human, so theres enough factors that something “could” allow a win. Is this completely overthinking this and going against the spirit of the question? Yes, but we’re already talking about the absurd hypothetical of putting a random non-athlete in a potentially infinite number of games against a professional athlete, so…
Are you really trying to fact check me because I used the 1 in 8 statistic and you’re not a guy? Talk about moving goal posts. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s one game. You’re a jackass not worth arguing with. Have a night as great as yourself.

Fair. If I’m serving, maybe I wait until she falls asleep and that’s how I get my point
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’re the one who decided to go with personal attacks. If you want to insult someone at least give them the courtesy of reading their username.
Also you’re on the silly meme community why are you taking this so seriously?
