I’m an Indian Wells Ball Boy. AMA pt. 2

Hey everyone! This year was my 4th year as an Indian Wells ball boy and I figured I would do another AMA, in case people were curious what it’s like being on court with the best tennis players in the world!!

I’ve now been a ball boy at every level of tennis except for a grand slam (NCAA, ITF, Challenger, 250, 500, 1000, and WTA Finals), so I’ve definitely accumulated some experience, and at this point my opinions of different players are pretty much based on how they acted towards me on court.

This year, I worked just the second week of the tournament, from Saturday the 8th through the end of the tournament, and I was only on Courts 1 and 2, so I didn’t work most of the outer courts.

For reference, I did one of these last year, so if anyone wants to read through it, some common questions might be answered there. https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/s/fYiQWWQzAS I know there’s a separate AMA feature now, but I don’t exactly know how it works, and I don’t have the energy or willpower to look it up, so we’ll try another discussion post instead.

That being said, I will try to answer any and all questions you might have in the next day or two (sorry if that’s late—I have classes though!)
