ball kids
Tennis match helpers
Ball kids are the young people stationed around a tennis court who retrieve stray balls and supply them to players between points.
They're trained to move quickly and unobtrusively, becoming part of the match's rhythm.
The role is a coveted position at major tournaments, often filled through competitive selection.
Also called ball boys and ball girls.
