It’s basically some “infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters” shit. “Well if I had enough time eventually they will make a mistake and I’d get a point on a technicality so yeah, I could totally do it!” This person remembers they have to serve too, right? And actually return the ball. They won’t win just standing there and praying.
minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·44 minutes agoI take it you’re not a tennis fan. You absolutely can win not only a point but a game (4 points) just by standing there. It’s called a double fault and they happen all the time. In 2014 Serena Williams lost a match after double faulting 4 times in a row to lose a game. She is not immune to double faults!
