As a college tennis player, this post fascinates me for a variety of reasons. First, that there is so much money on the line is awesome. Secondly, that people think this is gonna be close is even more awesome. Some great points have been made, so I may be stealing some thoughts here but let's break it down into serving and returning(the thrower):

Serving: Talk about a lollipop. This "serve" is gonna get sent into next week. I cannot fathom a way in which the thrower can do anything with his serve. Throw a knuckler? I don't think so, Wakefield.

Result: Broken serve EVERY time.

Returning: I think I would give my left nut to have the chance to play this purely for the serving opportunity. There is so much ground to cover WITH a racquet, imagine covering it with a wingspan a few feet shorter (racquet length minus glove length). I see at least 2 aces a game, and that's being conservative. Anyone who can hit both sides of the box is gonna have a field day.

Result: Holding 80-90% of games.

Would LOVE to hear how Nick is gonna do this...
