Why not? Have you seen me play?
Posted on 7/14/19 at 7:09 pm to diddlydawg7
Nah prob not
Prob couldn’t beat her in a foot race, wrestling match or arm wrestling either.
She’s just bigger than me.

A point? Yes. Not much more than that.

There is not much more delusional than the average dude's thoughts regarding his athletic prowess.

A point yes, when she makes an error.
A game, no chance.

I'm just going to guess the average MSB poster rarely ever played tennis, but hell maybe you've got some background in it

I’ve seen Coater play..he might get a set on her
Posted on 7/14/19 at 7:12 pm to diddlydawg7
Most people could not catch up to her serve.
Much less get it in play.

I don't see why it would rustle so many jimmies, other than that people are bad at math.
The current population of England is 56M.
According to this survey, between 800k and 900k English regularly play tennis: LINK /
Throwing a dart at 850k means that roughly 15% of the population plays tennis regularly.
I can't find any data on the gender split, but working from the total population, I don't see 12% of men thinking they could win a single point as being outlandish. There's a ton error involved in tennis. It's not like they are being asked if they could strike out a major league hitter, etc. It's a single point.
Could she skunk a host of people? Sure. But are there a ton of average rec guys who could get lucky for a point or two? Absolutely. To think otherwise is just silly.

I couldnt, but any male that has some slight athleticism and has actually played tennis for about a year could probably easily score a point on her.
No.
I’m a male with better than ‘slight’ athleticism, I’ve played tennis for more than a year- and she would absolutely wipe the court with me... just as with she would with anyone similar to me.

People on Twitter are big mad.

Yes you could, most people on here could score a point . That isn’t that hard . Win a game in a set is a totally different question. A good men’s player could, an average joe not a chance

People would not get a point of her goal was to not let them
If you didn’t tell her this was the goal they likely would get a few points

So, all I got to do is get one serve that she doesn’t return in play? Yes, I can do that. Could I beat her in a set? Hell no!
Posted on 7/14/19 at 7:16 pm to diddlydawg7
Once I capped her in the knee I might be able to score.
Na probably not.
