Yeah that’s low, being an asshole to ballboys. Like to see the look on his face if the ballboy just tells him to get it himself and walks off the court!
I think you remember this wrong. I only remember Nadal mouthing "banana" at his box when he got some stuck in his throat once. I don't think the ball kids are responsible for bringing bananas to players at any tournament, or even able to. But it has been mentioned that towel rails will be introduced at the Next Gen tournament this year, thereby eliminating the need for ball kids to handle them at all. That seems like an idea that's time has come.
I am so glad I am not like this and never will be. He must not remember or care of the days of leagues and such where you had to pick up your own. I love these kids.
