He cant catch the ball close if the server is good. You have around 0.4-0.5 seconds to respond. ...Thats not possible.

Stand at the net and catch it. Spike for winner. Wash, rinse, repeat. This may be the key to the prop. Again, you need extraordinary vision and reflexes to do it. Anyone with MLB/minor league 3B reflexes can do it. Nick's serves aren't coming faster than a crushed line drive by Pujols, Howard, or Vlad.

Also, server will be pressing, and nervous with you standing there. Double-faults will happen, slow spin serves are out of the question now. Play on grass or whatever surface is softest to dive on.

i really doubt you can just stand at the night and expect to not get passed everytime by a division 1 player who has time to take a full swing. however, i assume nick's strategy will be to not allow his opponent to have a full swing hardly ever.

i'm also in the camp that think nick must have a large advantage in this bet.
