Could you compete against your idol (or mentor)?

Watching the US OPEN on Wednesday, I saw a young tennis player, Sally Peers, lose her match in straight sets against an older player, Kim Clijsters. What's interesting is that Sally had an autographed photo taken with Kim in 2003 when Sally was 12 and Kim was 20.
In an interview posted by The Australian (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/), Sally's mother said, "Kim's been her idol. She's got a photo of Kim with her arm around her...we got Kim to sign it and it's been up on her wall all these years."

This got me thinking, could you compete against your idol (or mentor) and could you give it 100 percent?
