Watch: Rafael Nadal practices with ball boy after winning French Open match
Rafael Nadal quite possibly made a ball boy’s life on Saturday at the French Open.
After a straight-sets win over Richard Gasquet in the Round of 32, Nadal decided that he wanted to get a little more work in. He subsequently invited one of the ball boys out on Court Philippe Chatrier to practice with him.

Nadal has always been pretty cool about fan interactions, but the ball boy got a memory that will last a lifetime. It’s not just anybody who gets the opportunity to play Nadal, currently the top-ranked player in the world, on clay at Roland Garros, even if it’s just some casual practice.
