With rare exceptions, tennis ball boys and girls are not paid anything for their volunteer work, other than receiving free shirts, hats, and other souvenirs, and free or low cost food and drinks. Although they are not allowed to ask for Autographs while they are on court, some players will sign the kids' shirts as a courtesy, which most kids would see as a "perk" of the job.

Well, a first year ball boy makes the minimum 7.75 an hour. Then, after you complete a year of ballboying, you make 9.75 an hour. BTW, I am a US Open ballboy.
I read a book that said the ball boys do not get paid but get to keep their uniform. I do not know if this is accurate or still true.
there is no pay for ball boys ps I am a pro tennis player and I am in the us open
