The Way Federer Returns Balls to the Ball Kids

[joe1987]

Feds a nice dude. End of story.
I've seen some of the players just watching for the kids to pick the balls that are near them I really pains me to see that these guys can't even take a step to help.

what's the big deal? if i was playing a grandslam the last think i would be thinking of are the ball kids.
are you expecting the players to run after each ball? are you guys kidding me????? nothing else to talk about?

Yea, Federer always has conversations with the ballkids/ballpeople. During this year's U.S. Open final, he was chnaging frames and he accidentally nicked me on the knee with his racquet, he asked if I was ok and of course I responded by saying "It didn't hurt at all", Fed jokes "I'll try harder next time". He is always so relaxed

bump for those who haven't seen this - classic.
