Maria Sharapova Sits in Chair at Changeover While Ballkid Trips over His Own Feet Behind Her

Sunday May 17, 2015 will forever be remembered as the day that Novak Djokovic nearly lost his eye to an ornery champagne cork while Maria Sharapova sat placidly while a ballkid tumbled to near death behind her then quickly recovered to open the Russian’s parasol and give her shade.

Novak Djokovic Won Rome but Lost His Battle with this Champagne Bottle

Seriously, is this something out of a Fellini movie, or a changeover during the women’s final in Rome?

The best part is that you can watch it once in real-time and again in slo-mo. It’s pure comedy

Maybe it will inspire a band to name itself "Maria Sharapova and the falling ballboys" someday. We can only hope.
