The entertaining team of John & Patrick McEnroe had a great target tonight during the U.S. Open match between Andy Murray and Ernests Gulbis.

An over-exuberant ball boy chased down an errant ball and tried to vault over the sideline advertising, only to slip on it and tumble face first into the ground.

The kid tried to shrug it off with a smile, but the McEnroes and the rest of the crowd in Flushing also had a good laugh at his expense for the next couple of minutes.

So let’s see here…

Guy falling over while chasing a ball… check
Possible injury… check
Failure in Queens… check

Someone get him a September call-up to the Mets.
