I was pretty sure she wouldn't last long after she jumped the Scallop Oil Co. Just like baseball, big tennis tournaments like Wimbledon show the MPH, and I've never seen one faster than 129.

[Kazoo65]

That was a pretty easy stack. I had the last question narrowed down to A and B, figuring that golf balls are very small and they can travel fast. Tennis balls also can go very fast-I've heard of some people like Venus and Serena Williams going over 90 mph with their serves. She got nasty audience results. I would have jumped the question.

Back in the 70s there was a tennis player named Roscoe Tanner, nicknamed "Bullet Man" because of his serve. His serve was clocked at around 150 mph, at that time the fastest ever recorded. I don't think it's been surpassed, so I'd have gone with The Masters.
