[VIDEO] Ball Boy Takes 122 Mph Serve To The Groin

Let this be a lesson to ball boys everywhere -- always keep your guard up.

The 122 mph serve courtesy of Feliciano Lopez at the Australian Open bounces once and makes a beeline to his family jewels.

Maybe it was pure adrenaline, but you have to hand it to him continuing to do his job. After a few seconds, the severity of the blow sunk in. He went to a crouch and was attended to by officials and medics.

The ball boy is eventually escorted off the court where he inevitably got some pain killers and hopefully an ice pack.
