ABSTRACT:
A tennis ball retriever at the handle end of a tennis racket has flexible petals arranged around a ball-receiving recess. Nap-catching pins attached to the petals project into the recess. When the retriever is forced over a tennis ball, the petals open outwardly, permitting the ball to enter the recess. The pins are forced elastically into the nap covering the ball, thereby holding the ball in place so that it may be lifted from the ground without stooping.
