Video: Fans of irony will like seeing this ball-boy getting hit in the balls with a ball

It was only travelling at 121mph...

It was only travelling at 121mph…

JOE would never overlook an opportunity to use a quote from The Simpsons in an article but Homer’s famous remark, “the ball! His groin! It works on so many levels”, seems perfectly apt in this sitauation.

This is what happens when a ball-boy at the Australian Open takes a 121mph serve from Feliciano Lopez right into the liathroidi’s.

To his credit, the ball-boy soldiers on and puts on a brave face. Men everywhere feel your pain kid.

It’s still funny though.

Any excuse for this is always welcome.
