Dzumhur Collides With, Cares For Roland Garros Ball Boy

Jun012018

Bosnian was caught off guard when ball boy attempted the catch the ball

Damir Dzumhur was a class act, as always, on the court against Alexander Zverev on Friday at Roland Garros. His hospitality also extended to the ball kids who worked the third-round match on Court Philippe-Chatrier.

After Zverev hit a forehand long, Dzumhur hit a forehand high into the air. The ball was set to land about midcourt on the same side of the net as the Bosnian, who jogged to catch it.

But a ball boy, from the side of the court, sprinted to the same spot. Collision. Dzumhur, a 26-year-old ATP World Tour professional, was left standing. But the ball boy lay on the red dirt.

Dzumhur consoled the ball boy, and eventually, however, the ball boy walked away on his own. Dzumhur, feeling bad about the accident, left him with a hug and a kiss.
