Why is everybody so convinced that you're going to be throwing the tennis ball as fast as you can over the net?

okay, a trip report.

we both played gloveless for 10 mins to try to figure out strategy/warm up. then we played a set. i was planning on revealing my findings, but i'm intrigued now, and i hope this bet goes down. all i'll say is it's much, much closer than i thought it would be.

Can the non-racket guy walk with the ball or does he have to throw it right away/stay in place?

also depends how good you are at tennis.

3.0 player might be even money, 4.0 maybe 4:1, 6.0 probably 10:1

It is official, all matches will have a full set of ball kids and an official USTA Chair umpire. Matches over $5000 will include hot babes holding umbrellas on the change overs.

Well just for the icing on the cake, matches over $20,000 will 6 super hot models/escorts as the ball girls. Under $20,000 we will have to settle for regular kids. If I can find a private court, we can have topless ball girls, that will be a lot of fun.
