A first round tennis match at the Australian Open was delayed Monday when a ball boy wet his pants on court ten.

The match between Christophe Rochus and Donald Young was delayed by 40 minutes after the incident while someone used sawdust and a blower to get the court back to a playable state.

The blower initially didn’t work which contributed to the delay.

"I looked back and it was dripping on the court. He ran off. And when he ran off ...It left a trail on the court,” Young said.

Young won the match in four sets.

I can't believe that some adults don't realize that it is possible to lose control of your bladder at his age. The bladder doesn't reach full size until age 14-16. The bladder muscles don't gain the type of control that men 25-40 have. Some children don't grow out of bed wetting until age 18. After age 18 the chances of bedwetters to stop wetting the bed is almost impossible to happen. If a boy at 18 develops that kind of control at that age, we can assume that boys in general don't have the control as a 10-14 lad as a 28 year old man that pees once in the morning again about four and then at bedtime. A lot of boys have to pee every two hours. They can't wait but just a few more minutes past that.

The boy was excited. He was getting to be on TV. He was nervous. He probably drank too much water. No one told him what to do if he had a toilet emergency. I'm sure he convinced himself he could hold on. I did that at his age and older. Fortunately I made it. But I had close calls myself.

Incontinence is anytime a person loses control of his bladder. The urologists make it plain that incontinence is a side effect of holding urine too long. Once a middle school decided to lock the toilets except at lunch. The urologists commented that incontinence among other things is a result of only allowing toilet breaks at lunchtime.

It really disappoints me that people would think the young man pissed his pants on TV on purpose. Surveys show that wetting pants in class is the third most event that children and teens list as being stressful. Only the death of a parent or going blind is thought to be worse.

Give the boy a break. I can't imagine the teasing that he has had to endure since that happened and it will continue for a long long time.

What's wrong with you morons who are suggesting that this boy wet himself in front of a huge audience deliberately? You are truly without any sense in your heads. Either that, or you don't really believe that, but are just cruel and lacking in any trace of decency.

I am from czech republic, and i once wet my pants while at the top of the pyramid of our school cheerleading squad. Everyone had it on their face and this was very funny, i laughed so hard i wet myself again, and that was all over their faces too, i laughed very hard again, and so on... i am now a paraplegic. Moral of the story, wetting your pants on tennis court not so bad.

I too can sympathise with this little man's predicament. I have rendered myself unable to control my bladder on countless occassions and wet myself whilst standing up against a wall holding a pair of balls.

I recently went to watch a tennis match at Wimbledon in London and when I took my penis from my trousers and urinated, I was swiftly arrested by a member of the local constabulary and escorted to Scotland Yard where I was charged with committing the (so-called) offence of gross indecency. And, unlike this young pervert, I wasn't even ON centre court at the time. I was in the front row of seats, directly behind Elena Dementieva as she was performing a few hamstring scretching excercises. I now have a criminal record and have been forced to sign the (so-called) sex offenders register.

This is yet another example of political corectness gone made where there is one rule for weak-bladdered, pre-pubescent ball boys and another for middle aged men who enjoy attending world class sports events dressed in ladies underwear.

I used to have real problems going to the toilet in a public place. I felt quite inferior to the other BIG boys and would stand at the urinal for ages (normally until there was no-one else there) before I would go pee-pee. I am very impressed that this young man could go in front of thousands of people. We shouldn't be laughing at him, we should applaud him for his bravery and acumen. Plus, he must have a schlong down to his knees.

Hey Sean K Oldham, try www.stopwettingthebed.com it's my own website and has some great meditation and accupuncture technique. It worked for me! Now I only wet the bed with other men in if they want me to. See you on Hampstead Heath tonight. You know where xxx. (So does Nicky Three Fingers.)
