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.

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.

Now, the angle here would be, if possible, to volleyball-set the ball upcourt before actually catching. Not sure how feasable that would be to do, but if someone could do it, say 80% of the time, he could smoke Federer.

I'd bet my roll against Federer losing to someone using this strategy.

If the person could do it properly 80% of the time, (which is likely impossible) you'd lose your roll, and federer would be hard-pressed to win a game. Just think about it. Being that it's against the rules, however, this means nothing.

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.
