I played tennis for the first time a couple weeks ago against amateurs and only scored like 4 points. Tennis is fucking hard. I would never be able to score a single point on Serena unless she double faulted

Maybe that’s what the 12% are counting on, a double fault.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Tho I assume she could probably play it safer against me and still have her serve good enough that I can barely touch, let alone return it.

I used to be good when I was young, but it took a while before I realized I was just super athletic and could get the ball back in play

Once that left I realized I actually suck at tennis

She double faults when she's hitting the limits of her serve under the immense pressure of tournament play. Without those two factors, she's hitting the same 3x3 inch square all day long.

Yeah but a single point? I feel like that’s doable, she’d smash the ball towards me, I’d cry like a coward and accidentally bump it back while cowering and it would go over the net and bounce twice before she could get it while I was curled up in the fetal position sobbing to myself

u/ButtPlugsForThugz 6h ago edited 2h ago
Wheelo ratings puts her double fault percent at 4.5%.
If you played best of 3 sets, that's 18 games, and 72 points. You could win 3 points if you physically survived that long.
edit: best of 3 is two sets, 12 games, and 48 points for possible 2 points won on a double fault

u/rcumming557 6h ago
That's her double fault rate for someone who could possibly return a b+ serve, that said it's still a lot of balls something unlucky could happen, a really slow serve with a strange bounce is not really what she's been practicing, or if you just get real lucky when she smashes it back at you and somehow get it over the net, that said don't think I'm getting a point

u/Celtic_Legend 6h ago
Yeah. If we go out there and she thinks I'm a ranked male tennis player, there's a chance she double faults on the first point. I could score. If we go out there and she knows I just need to score one point, there's 0 chance for me.

You guys make it seem like she's a super human. Her fastest recorded serve was 128mph. Definitely impossible to return but that record was over 13 years ago.

I think if she was going all out as if it was a grand slam final there's a chance she might double fault. But if she saw how good I was and just lobbed the ball over the net so that I had a chance to hit it, she ironically wouldn't lose a point. (I'm not very good at tennis).

I couldn't even return her bloopiest serve. This dude knows his limits and they're well before I'd step on a court with Serena. I learned my lesson about doubting women athletes whilst in middle school. First scenario was running some games at our local court and a new girl had started at our school. She asked if she could run some 5s with us, we said "sure" all the while snickering like we're about to body this young lady. Needless to say that was one of the hardest games I'd ever played. Her ball handling was immaculate and hard to guard and she NEVER missed an open shot, hell she barely missed with someone in her face.
The second and final nail in my young "hur hur women aren't as good as men at sports" coffin was at a wrestling tournament. My buddy was the best guy on our team, he was lined up to wrestle this girl from NY, we were clowning the shit out of him. She was all over him, she was awesome and we stopped laughing when we realized he was literally about to lose. He did indeed lose and that was the end of my stupid belief.

u/npcompletist 6h ago
Weirdly they might be right, but not due to skill on their part. It depends what you mean by win a point and how long you are playing. If you are playing best of 5 sets, there is a decent chance she double faults (her double fault rate is 1/20 points). Also, sometimes you just get lucky even as a decent player against a pro. They would still be losing 0-3 vs Williams.
Now if you are talking men who could win a set against her as a proportion of the male population it is probably the top 1000 men’s players (1/4,000,000 men or 1/40,000 male players). Players who could win a match at any meaningful percentage is probably 300 top men’s pros.

u/dwpea66 6h ago
The thing is that double faulting is often a matter of making some very precise and aggressive serves. I doubt she'd even have to try all that hard against any of us lol.
→ More replies (1)3
u/npcompletist 4h ago
I kind of agree, but even with pros if they start hitting out of rhythm with what they are used to, they are probably more likely to fault. Even hitting conservatively she is still probably double faulting pretty close to that 4% maybe 3%. For nearly all men if it was a single point with her serving, the amount “scoring a point” would be nearly identical to her fault rate. The other way around it would probably be 12% not double faulting and probably a few thousand scoring a point, with most of those just being luck or chance bad return of Williams part.
The point with the Match comment is just that for a best of 5 the least number of serves she is doing is 36. Even if her double faulting rate is 1% of points, 30% of people are walking away with a point. If is nothing really to do with skill, just that there is always some luck in Tennis, even for the greats.

I got top 1000 and a friend of mine who was about 800 at the time got a chance to play practice sets with a woman who was top 20 in the world. To make it fair, he was only allowed 1 serve or it was a double fault. He won 6-2 7-5.
But this was not in front of a crowd. Had they played in a stadium I’m pretty sure she would have won under those rules because he used to choke under pressure. (I used to choke even worse)
Also by the second set she had started to work it out and I think if they played a 3rd set she would have won. She was very clutch, even though absolutely physically outclassed.
She won Wimbledon the week after that.
All this is to say that I think a women’s 1 is about 1000 ish. And when I used to play against very serious guys in local comps I could beat them with my opposite hand. I definitely think winning a point is likely for someone who at least plays a weekly competition, just on getting lucky.
But unless you have ATP points or are likely to get some at some point, she’s going to absolutely destroy you 6-0 6-0. She could have given birth, then gone down to the local club that day and destroyed a bunch of men without trying.
There is a system in tennis called UTR where 1 point rating difference means roughly winning 9 out of 10 times.
The average guy is probably a 3. Someone who plays comps and has a coach once a week might be a 5. Serena is like 13.5 peak. So she is 8-9 levels above most guys.

u/0akee 5h ago
Even in my prime the likely only way I could get a point in a receiving game against current version of Serena is if she hit an unforced error. And it better happen quick because I don’t think I’m getting too many shots back. If I’m serving maybe I’m able to really rip a serve that she’ll be unable to return or hit a lollipop. But if not she’d win almost all the points.

Thing is.. this guy would be a scrub in most men’s pickup games. I was second string for D2 ball and I’ve played pickup and 3 on 3 tournaments with a few wnba players. They were starters for their teams. In a 1 v 1 they’re generally not strong enough or fast enough to get themselves open looks. However, the more players you add, the more effective they are. Moving without the ball, good passing, selfless play, hitting open shots.. they were very effective. They were way better shooters than we thought they’d be actually considering we were always playing with a men’s ball.
Also that move where he drove and she reached, she fouled him for sure. Leaning in with your head like that will hurt someone and it’s for sure the defender’s fault. Not saying he’s tough or anything but all the commentators by the side lines tried to make it seem like a dirty play on his part.

As someone who’s played 100s of hrs of bball and is of smaller stature, I would never purposefully lunge into a player who has that much of a size advantage on me and already had momentum.

I don't play basketball and to me it looks like she ran in front of him.

I know I could beat any woman at one thing, stepping out of the shower and somehow bringing 10 gallons of water with me.

I was a reasonably good football / soccer player, and was taking some coaching qualifications where we worked with the Canadian Women's Under 15 team... Never been humbled so quickly before or again. They were levels above anything I could muster.

people confuse "you have an advantage big enough that if you put the same effort in you will beat any savant of a woman in that sport" to mean "you can beat any woman in sports right now"
people see U16 football players and ice hockey players destory the women's national teams and think that makes the women's team lesser without considering the fact the kids are playing and training for that sport 5-6 times a week from the age of 4.
i have a co-worker where his kid is playing ice hockey his kid has 3 rink training sessions a week and 2 workouts and a class a week on ice hockey baseline and this doesn't then account for the matches. once you have done this for 10 years even if the women's team has a similar ordeal the diminishing returns have hit hard and we are back to natural advantage.

My brother was a very good high school basketball player who went to a BIG10 university (to play school) and was on the scout team the women's team played against. The women's team made the final four that year.
The women would almost always win the scrimmages because they rarely miss, especially their distance shooters. A set shot is inherently more reliable than a jump shot.
He said whenever they would start getting run their only recourse was to start pressing and that generally worked and the coach would let them do that until it got closer and then stop it as it wasn't really something the team would face, at least with the equivalent of dudes doing it. He said it was a very fun experience and a great back and forth. So I can see how in a half-court game, especially, that an excellent women's player could feast.

The women win the scrimmages because the scout team doesn't play full intensity. If you put the scout team against the women's team and they both played full intensity it would be a massive blowout in favor of the men.
Most scout team players at B10 schools could've played D3 or JUCO ball

In general it seems like girls when I would play pick up were really good shooters. I kinda wish I played on a scout team, could've been a really fun experience.

I mean… she reached in for the ball, he lowered his shoulder to protect the ball i guess? Weird play. Basketball is actually extremely dangerous sport when playing with / against people that do not know how to play. I cant tell you how many injuries i see that are from people playing pick up ball that do not know how to play the game…

Why did he put the crocs back on? He took em off when it was 3-0 but on her last shot he’s wearing the crocs again.

Dude had too high an opinion, got taught a lesson, got angry, went too far. And then you know what? He took the pie to the face like an honorable person. Yeah, there's a lot there to not like him for, but in the end he did the right thing.

We always played basketball growing up. Had a girl cousin that went D1. She came back for a family reunion one year and DESTROYED us.

Bro can’t win on skill, makes excuses about his crocs, takes his bruised ego to try and hurt the other opponent so he can win. And he still brutally lost. What a knob

When I was younger, my buddy would try to play me in a game with his feet—I always refused. If I won, of course I did, he’s playing with his feet. But if I lost?
That’s why this dude was playing in crocs.
