ball kid
Fetches stray shots
A ball kid is a young person stationed around a tennis court to retrieve balls between points and supply them to players serving.
Ball kids chase down errant shots, roll balls along the sidelines, and stand ready with towels.
The role requires quick reflexes and unobtrusive efficiency.
Also called a ball boy or ball girl, though ball kid is the gender-neutral term now preferred in professional tennis.
