why does everyone think the guy catching is at such a disadvantage? A tennis court is big and you are allowed to pivot and fake throw, think about it people, you are gunna run that poor guy with the raquet to death. I cant hit a tennis ball for [censored], but I sure as hell could throw one pretty accurately. And with a glove?? fo get aboud it

First, try catching a tennis ball hit ~120Mph hit directly at you. Then try catching it 8-12 feet in either direction with about half a second to react. Then come back in here and restate.

I have a hard time seeing anyone with a solid serve and good tennis skill losing from racket end. Hard for me to tell once it gets to volley, it seems a fair amount more can be done from the catch side, but the serve is the bitch of the bunch.
