13. Hard To Argue With That

As to location, I meant it to be a comparison on the same close call. Maybe the outside corner, maybe 3/4ths of an inch outside. Maybe right at the top of the letters, maybe an inch high. But, one is going 96, the other 84. I can see human nature giving a break to the hitter.
As to being able to follow it, I played in a county tennis tournament in college. I wasn't great at tennis, but I was quick & had good balance so I could play some.
Won my first 2 matches, but then drew a guy (same age) who was #1 singles on a full ride to TCU. He had a 135mph serve. He hit some aces against me, and I never saw the actual ball, just a blurred, yellow streak!
I could not follow the ball through the hitting zone.
He crushed me. His forehand ground strokes were faster than my serve.
