Stoney Blog: It's Rough Being A Ball Boy [VIDEO]

By Mike Stone

As a teenage tennis fan back in the day, I always thought about trying to be a ball boy when the United States Indoor Championships came to Philadelphia.

It looked like it would really be fun.

I never got the opportunity to do it, and after seeing what happened this morning at the Australian Open maybe that was a good thing.

Look at what happens to the ball boy on this serve by Feliciano Lopez. All I can say is ouch!
