A sport notorious for guys going undefeated or having very minimal losses. Where there are countless examples of random people off the street and nobody's beating professionals. Are we kidding? That is the opposite of difficulty, it's one of the easiest sports to break into. Shouldn't even be in the top 10.
I would say hitting in baseball, serving in tennis, and scoring a goal in the NHL are the top 3 actual hardest. I think if every aspect is taken into account of a game, tennis is the hardest sport by a landslide.
The nhl being hard to break into I do believe, the teams have like 10 people total. Joking lol.

Love these cross sports debates! I beg to differ on tennis. It's fundamentally a (relatively) rich person's sport, which means that the athletic funnel is definitionally narrow. There are probably 1,000 rejects from the Premier League who have a superior athletic base than any tennis player in the history of the sport.
