Welcome to the 2023 U.S. Open, the epic showdown where tennis A-listers like Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff sweat it out in New York’s sweltering stadiums. Brace yourself for the staggering statistic that the average match ruins 29 ball boys — no, not kills, but wears through their sanity and shirts — and lasts a cozy 1.5 hours, perfect for ignoring family calls. With the fourth Grand Slam wrapping up the year’s tennis chaos, the only thing more exhausting than the players might be the poor kids fetching those rogue balls while the world watches closely, raising awareness about sport-induced ball boy burnout!
