WATCH: I Tried Out To Be A US Open Ball Girl

The US Open got underway this week but the ball persons have been put in place for a while.

I was lucky enough to score an invite to the grueling tryouts back in June, which meant I had to get ready for a lot of sprinting, throwing, and catching drills. Oh and it just happened to be on the hottest days of the summer... it was rough.

I thought I did pretty well, but alas, I was not chosen, there's always next year!

Watch below to find out what it takes to be a US Open ballperson:
