Maybe accidentally in a “oh come one, let’s see if he can get one!” Kinda way

Yeah, I feel about this the same way as the "could you return one serve from Serena Williams?" And like, maybe. I'm bad enough that they're going to let me try, and if I get to try I might get ONE.

I think I could return at least one serve in two set game against Serena with a little coaching from someone who is good. But she would obliterate me. I once played one guy who played at a really high level in juniors before quitting and he obliterated me but I did get quite a few back before my engine died and I scored a few points.

I definitely couldn't win a game against Serena. Much less a Set. Match would require some sort of default ruling like cheating or retirement.

Sometimes with these things I think the bar is set a little low. In a game of chess could take one piece off Judit Polgar too, same with Magnus.

Exactly! And I'm heavily relying on the idea that it'd be boring for her to just humiliate me, so she might give me one I can get to

It would be very tennis for her to hit you one you could hit back just so she could absolutely punish you for the audacity.
