Wrong Sport, Right Idea

If there's one thing this year's tournament is sorely missing, it's the pill shot. C'mon, folks. It's a spectator sport. It's entertainment. Give the crowd something to cheer about! Sure, blistering serves and impossible returns are fun and games, but nothing beats the pill shot on the comedy scale. America's Funniest Home Videos stayed on the air for a decade or more (is it still on the air?) feeding the nation an embarrassment of people getting hit in the peanuts by a nearly infinite array of devices and objects. We're not smart. We don't need Noel Coward out there. We need a small, orange sphere speeding into someone's dice cup.

You don't even need to hit a competitor! There are plenty of innocent bystanders standing very close by. A smorgasboard of targets. The least you could do is give us one money shot per day.

Please.
