It doesn’t matter what the surface is — Jimmy Butler can’t help but score points.
At a charity exhibition match leading up to the US Open on Wednesday night, the Miami Heat star was serving as an honorary ballboy in a match between Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe. At one point, Butler asked Tiafoe if he could step in to receive a serve, and Tiafoe obliged.
Alcaraz’s serves normally top 120 miles per hour, but he offered up a distinctly gentler one for Butler. Butler returned it, and the two exchanged volleys until this happened.
