Stan Wawrinka rallies with ball boy during break at French Open
Stan Wawrinka is taking no chances in his French Open title defense.
So, when his fourth-round opponent Viktor Troicki called a medical timeout mid-match, the third-seeded Wawrinka wasn’t going to risk getting cold.
Looking for a way to stay loose during the break, Wawrinka turned to a ball boy and asked if he wanted to rally.

"We had a little chat,” Wawrinka told reporters after the match. “He was a nice kid. It was nice for him. It was fun for the audience. I was a little bit bored waiting for him [Troicki] so it kept me busy."
Wawrinka earned a 7-6(5), 6-7(7), 6-3, 6-2 win and the ball boy came away with an unforgettable experience.
