I agree that Gandalfs strategy was crucial to defeating Sauron, but its ultimate execution had more to do with Hobbit resilience and tenacity didnt it? Also in single combat, Gandalf vs Saruman, Saruman won. So although Sauron had no physical presence as such, his potency in single combat would surely still be extremely formidable. Enough to defeat Gandalf?
