I've badly played some competitive table tennis and I'd not take a single point. There is however the chance that the pro fouls a serve. Not a big chance if they are just making safe serves and prepares to murder me on the off chance I get the serve back over the net. I doubt I would, even if I'm better than average.

I played someone at a corporate event who obviously had played quite a lot for fun and with friends, but he hadn't played anyone who could spin the ball. After I noticed, he hardly got anything over the net or on the table anymore, even if he was good for an amateur. The same goes for playing the pros. Even if you know how to handle spin, the amount of spin pros can put on a ball is unbelievable and your ball will hit the net or be way off the table. Every time. No exceptions. None.

Spin is only one aspect of the game. Speed is another and at that level it is unbelievably fast. The speed the balls have that the pros are able to return is fantastic. To even produce those speeds isn't something most can do, and to do it on a ball from a pro and also hit the table? No. Just no.

I've played lowest league players where I went without points and even they certainly wouldn't get any points in the Olympics. Your chances in all this? Figure it out.
