If you're given the opportunity to be a ball kid for your tennis idols, would you do it?

[vokazu]

I wouldn't. To be a ball person in a tennis match is so demeaning and I would feel like a slave. No way I'd want to handle sweaty and dirty towels.

These ball kids, they work so hard on the court and they don't get paid, while the umpires just sit on their butts throughout the match and they get paid a decent salary.

Ball boys (BB) get to view match free of cost

Does tourny offer free food or any other free incentive to BB?????

Has anybody here serve as BB in past

 

[Winners or Errors]

When I was a kid, I'd have done it. As an adult, no.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

I got to live my dream and be a line judge. 10/10 experience.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

My experience as a ball-boy was not as splendiferous.

 

[Berrettini_Fan]

I would love to be a ball girl for Berrettini!

Watch Fed play a GS final from 10 feet away?

I would do it in a second at any age.

I already run around a tennis court not getting paid so it's impossible to shame me lol.

I would love to be a ball girl for Berrettini!

Why not Fognini?

 

[Berrettini_Fan]

Why not Fognini?

He's married.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

He's married.

Big Berr is committed

 

[Rosstour]

Yeah of course.

Tennis should give ball persons salary. I can't believe that we still have slavery.
