Ah a fellow ball boy. I was a ball boy for last year's U.S. Open.

What was your best match?

How do you like rolling the balls instead of throwing them?

What was the worst thing a player has done to you?

I was a ball boy last year. If you're 6'1", you're almost guaranteed to only be a back ball boy. They tend to lean towards the shorter people for the nets.

As far as the tryouts go, if you have decent athletic ability, you'll make the cut. There are two rounds of tryouts and then you make it to the qualies, where you learn the basic skills with the help of veteran ball boys. There is also still a chance you can get cut during the qualies. Just gotta hustle and pay attention and you'll be good. Once you make it into the main draw, you're pretty much set. Just don't do anything stupid. Tryouts are on June 19th. Good luck!

Yep! The U.S. Open prides us as the only grand slam ball boys to throw instead of roll. Although more efficient, it is more likely to mess up or even lose balls. By the way, your uniform looks sweet this year!
