Poor Ball Girl

Night bugs have been a problem at the Australian Open this year and one poor ball girl had to face up to her clear phobia and remove one so that play could continue. During the match between home favourite Lleyton Hewitt and Cedrik-Marcel Stebe, an unwanted insect invader became the centre of attention as Stebe asked for the bug to be removed before continuing. It was left to a ball girl to run over and catch the bug and she couldn't throw it away quick enough after finishing a job she clearly did not enjoy. When her brave effort was shown to the fans on the big screen they gave her a huge cheer - and she flashed back an embarrassed smile.
