Ballboy Hit In Face At Australian Open
The Australian Open Is Hilariously Painful
For those of you who aren't aware of it - and why would you be - the Australian Open is going on right now down under. I know tennis currently sits somewhere between the NHL and alligator wrestling for most sports fans, so if you weren't aware of one of tennis' majors going on, don't fret.

Anyway I've always thought that being a tennis ballboy on linesman would be kind of a cool gig, until I saw the carnage that's been going on at the Open.

Like ballboys getting nearly decapitated.




Or, worse case scenario, getting drilled in the face by Marat Safin and then having him kiss you.



The good news though is at least no one voluntarily took a tennis ball to the groin like this guy did.



And just because I can, here's one more hilariously awesome video. Watch the hat fly off the kid's head.


Ah yes, nothing makes up for an impossibly slow news day more than people getting drilled by tennis and soccer balls.

Do you get an auto win for drilling the ballboy? [Simon on Sports]

Marat Safin got 'Play of the Day' for his 'apology' on Sports Tonight (an aussie show) & i'm suprised anyone takes notice of the A-League soccer. But they were pretty funny.
