Now Fowler and McEnroe and everyone were getting all over this kids nuts for catching a tennis ball that Roger Federer hit directly at him. But I'm not. I didn't see a dive. Less impressive than a high school shortstop making a diving stab and turning two. Didn't have to dive or lay out.. Didn't have to make a throw. no consequences for an error. All reward and no risk for this guy. No pressure other than the 20,000 people watching. Besides, that kid was completely under Roger's mind control of Roger Fedi Mind Tricks when he made that grab. Fed definitely made eye contact and just zapped it into his hands no sweat. Could just as easily have blasted that ball straight into his dome. Brain matter yardsale city. Federer is a Jedi and this ballboy but his apprentice.
PS- Isn't that his job? Isn't he supposed to just be snaring tennis balls barehanded all day long? Gotta be required. These ball boys got to be the best of the best. This is the semi-final of a major with two of the greatest of all time crushing right in front of you.
PPS- This jackass ballboy probably plays cricket.
