It's not just tennis players that display their athleticism at the U.S. Open; tennis ball persons, who retrieve balls during play, must train for an intense, physically-demanding job that can also be treacherous. Correspondent Mo Rocca finds out what it takes to become a Grand Slam ball person, by putting himself through the paces.

Whenever I see a tennis match, I’m always thinking back to the days of those Miis playing on the Wii sports tennis court- Elisa’s tough and like the Mii version of the Williams sisters.

I wanna see a match where the linespeople & the ball kids trade jobs. It would be the longest match ever. And the funniest.

absolutely love the Nadal clip actually makes me tear up and the girl is trying so hard not to cry lol

@andyroo9381 3 года назад

Nadal met with that ball girl and her mother a day or two after the incident. They all sat and talked, took photos and he gave his autograph to the young girl. She was smiling and seemed to be uninjured from the hit. Nadal is a good guy.

I was a ball person at the Miami open in the late 2000’s. Nicest players by far are the Serbians. The French were rude, except for Gael Monfils. I’ll never forget being the spare guy during a Roddick-Federer match and getting to watch the whole game and thinking I even got a free pair of shoes out of it. Respect to all the US Open ballpersons, they’re some of the best in the world.

Remember when Kramer was the ball “man” on Seinfeld?

Never thought about how to become a Ballperson, just always thought it was a cool job. Thanks for the feature.

Kramer was the best ball boy in the history of tennis.

Interesting, didn’t realize it was a training thing even

I'm taking a Tennis Class and I'm getting consequences of injuring my palm. My coach said you might as well try out be out as a ball person rather playing the Tennis. Meh, I have the reputation of assisting players rather than BEING the player. Maybe I should

They do their job with speed and precision.

It was awful to watch. Ball-kids (from Wimbledon or Roland Garros) are way better doing this important side job. And it's so much better to let kids/young teens be on the court with their idols.
