Ball boy who kept Serena Williams' broken U.S. Open racket sold it for $500—now it could go at auction for $50,000 (via CNBCMakeIt)
But before it was up for auction, the broken racket was in the closet of a 22-year-old ball boy who was working the 2018 match, the New York Times reports. Justin Arrington-Holmes, a pre-med student at Boston College, asked Williams to take a photo after the match, and the tennis champ gave him the racket to keep.

Holmes told the New York Times that he didn't realize how much the racket would be worth.

Souvenirs from major events such as the US Open, French Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon Championships also do well.
