Has anyone ever attempted this?
I just want to see what it feels like to hit against the pace of a pro.
Is ATP100 too ambitious?
Please refrain from "You won't be able to tell the difference b/w 5.0 and ATP100"
Maybe it does not have to be ATP100, but I want the real deal.
I want a full 30 mins, not 5 or 10.
Rally, serves, and some point play.
Then post the video so the world can have a laugh.
Let's say I am willing to put upwards of $3000 behind this.
How could I pull this off?
Can I get one to fly into town and I put them up at a hotel for a night?
Can I go to the US Open Qualifiers and ask one of them if they want to make some quick money?
Hop in a car and go find a court ? All I hear is that players outside of the ATP200 are all broke.
Could I pay them $x to be their warm up partner for 30 mins at the tournament?
Another idea is that I see $10k tournaments where real pros apparently play.
$10k? All that travel and overhead for a chance at $10k? Expected value is like $1k.
I can guarantee $10k (get 3-10 friends to chip in $1k-$3k each, and instead of playing a tournament,
he just hits for 30 min. sessions, and walks away with $10k for a days work.
Anyone ever done anything like this?
