Abstract: In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a clamp-on plastic arcuate element of C-shaped cross-section is provided for snapping-onto an upper portion of a tennis racket head frame, and continuous with and fused to substantially opposite ends of the arcuate element is a correspondingly arcuate semi-rigid substantially flexible lever element biased normally to a predetermined position in an open state away from the upper-most part of the tennis racket and arcuate element at a predetermined distance substantially less than a diameter of a tennis ball such that when the arcuate element is mounted on the tennis racket head frame the tennis racket by a person holding the handle thereof may be used as a pick-up device for retrieving tennis balls without any need of bending over or flexing the back, the arcuate base member also defining a substantially C-shaped pair of flanges as a part of an upper-most part of the arcuate element opposite the pick-up lever for anchoring the lever in a recessed lock-down position w
