Tennis is an odd sport in that if A beats B 6-2 and B beats C 6-2 it doesn't mean A will even beat player C. If you can hit topspin and not hit a short ball, vice versa can attack a short ball you are never an 11-1 dog to anybody. being on a fast indoor even negates PA being more fit and working out.
Plus tennis there are losts of days you can have a really crappy day or the other guy can be slightly in the zone, or even days where you're clearly the better player have 15 break points and they don't fall your way, the other guy will be 1-1 on BP. I haven't played a in 14 years except when wimbledon/us open is on tv last 2 years, and I'd take 11-1 against Patrick any day and I'm hella out shape.
Serious PA or BA pm me.
i should prob read posts better lol. didn't see he was at one point top 50 in FL. that's real. huge tennis programs down there. prob best or 2nd best state in the nation.
that said, the 20% body fat is insane. and being out of shape is killer, fast court or not. doesn't look nearly like 100:1 like i was thinking (i.e. 6.5 vs. a 5), so 11:1 looks more fair.
2/3 sets >>> 3/5 too. also depends on BA's training regimen.
honestly though i'd wanna see them both play before placing any bets. i've learned that taking somebody's word for their level can lead to large mistakes in handicapping lol.
