After last week's Mystery Photo caught Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates invading the turf of Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, we wondered if Sampras and Agassi would get a turn at running Microsoft and Amazon.com.

We also figured you'd have plenty of ideas about what was going on here, so Page 2 asked you to come up with some clever captions. You filled our mailbag with more than 500 responses.

Here's a look at some of the best caption suggestions from your readers.

Man, this new tennis game for Microsoft X-Box looks incredibly real.

All was calm on the court until Bill Gates shouted, "One, two, three, four, time to start a thumb war."
