Tennis Ball Boy Slams Into Wall Face First After Tripping [VIDEO]

I am a klutz. I don't have an excuse for it, I am just flat-out clumsy.

That is one of the many reasons I never tried to be a ball boy. The Barcelona Open is taking place now and one ball boy will make every clumsy person out there feel good about themselves.

While fielding a ball and trying to run back into position, this poor kid tripped and somehow managed to ram his face into the wall behind the players.

I have to give the kid major props though, he pops up so fast that he seems to be hoping no one saw it. Unfortunately for him, someone did see, and they captured the moment on video and then tweeted it for the world to see.

You really do have to appreciate the hustle from this kid. He was a true professional. He could have laid there and acted hurt; Instead he played the role of a hockey player and bounced up like a fox on a trampoline. He even managed to laugh at himself.

This video just reminds me of the time that Kramer decided to be a ball boy in the show 'Seinfeld.'
