Hazards of Being a Ball Girl
While most professional tennis players are well-known, their success is frequently aided by less recognized teammates on the court. Ball girls, or ball people, are volunteers who serve as go-betweens for tennis matches by collecting and delivering balls to the players quickly.
While these behind-the-scenes heroes are well-trained and ready for any situation, nothing could have prepared this tennis player from feeling the shock of accidentally landing on her. This young ball girl was taken by surprise in 2009 when French tennis star Michael Llodra fell on her.
