Abstract: Apparatus is provided to retrieve tennis balls by attachment to a tennis racket. The apparatus consists of a bracket having a pair of arms positioned between side walls which are affixed to an arcuate base. The arms are pivotable and can be opened to extend upwardly, from the base where they form an opening slightly smaller than the diameter of a tennis ball. The bracket is attached to the top of the tennis racket and will receive tennis balls that are on the ground without the user having to stoop or bend in order to pick the balls up. Once the desired balls have been gathered the arms can be folded back into the bracket where they remain out of the way during play.
