When I first came upon this question years ago, I was like "A game of tennis goes for like 3 hours, surely I could get a singular point in that time, if she faults"

Then I was informed "winning a point" means winning a set, so I revised my answer to "Yeah absolutely not".

Maybe some of that 12% had the same thought process I did, but even then that's a ridiculously high number

Winning a point does just mean a single service, and it's still true. Tennis pros only fault because they're playing on the bleeding edge of their game to beat their peers. Serena Williams can play at 50% of her capability against you, never come close to a fault, and wrap up the match in 30 mins.

Horrible taste in men though.

I guess relying on your opponent to fuck up isn't a reliable strategy unless your opponent is the US government.
