Toughest job in sports? Not even close … it has to be ball boy for this game of vertical tennis. Seems to me that the guy on top has a distinct advantage, gravity-wise. But perhaps I’m overthinking it. Why do I get the feeling that Novak Djokovic is going to fly by and taunt them for being wimps?

Apparently the stunt was publicity for the the Madrid Open tennis tournament, which begins on Friday.

WRITER’S EMBELLISHMENT: Tragedy struck when Ted decided his office was stuffy and, despite that morning’s explicit memo, opened a window.
