i never give pity point in a competition, but thats because i never win 10-0 !
but i do lose 0-11 occasionally. Usually when i'm 0-10 down i like to miss intentionally the last point to avoid the other guy giving it to me, unless its matchpoint. Mind games
I'm projecting myself already on the next set. Somehow i noticed some opponents lost their concentration after winning 11-0 but not so if 11-1 or 11-2.
i don't care losing 0-11 or 1-11 or 6-11 its all the same to me. At least 0-11 it can't be worse.
Actually last time I lost 0-11 was a few weeks ago in a training match in game 1. I won the 2nd set 11-2. and the third I won with normal margin. I had match points up 10-8 in the 5th and several match points at deuce but i lost the match (14-16 ??). Damn it. I still never have beaten that guy and i was so close this time.
