Tennis fans know all about the challenges of maintaining a grass court. But what about the lines?

Under normal circumstances, they are spray-painted on with chalk in perfect right angles to make the 78-foot long court we all know and love — 27 feet wide at the singles sidelines and 36 feet wide including the doubles alleys. Simple enough, right? But how about doing it with a blindfold on?

Find out who measured up, and who was left behind to clean the mess in the video below.
