The Boodles is playing out this week in London, and serves as a fun way for top stars to get ready for Wimbledon. But for the ball kids, it's a tough job, as tough as any pro tournament, as one girl found out the hard way.

Thanasi Kokkinakis delivered the ill-fated serve, but made up for it with a free shirt, as Alexander Zverev tried his best to console the girl.

Overall though, the event is all smiles and thrills, with star power like Kokkinakis, Zverev, Nick Kyrgios, Juan Martin del Potro, Victor Troicki and Philipp Kohlschreiber, to name a few.

The five day event wraps up on Saturday, after plenty of dramatic matches at the picturesque venue.

Kyrgios, the second-highest ATP player at the event, is seeded No. 20 at Wimbledon, which starts Monday.
