Fan spectacularly falls trying to catch tennis ball from Rafael Nadal (Video)

One man went a bit overboard trying to catch a tennis ball Rafael Nadal threw into the crowd after beating Marcel Granollers at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Ca. Tuesday. And we say he went a bit overboard, we mean that literally. Dude was sporting a Rafael Nadal jacket and standing next to a group of people holding a Spanish flag, so we’re assuming he’s a big fan. Such a fan that he forgot about the little barrier between himself and the court, and he took a nosedive straight into the hardcourt going after the ball. I hope it was autographed to at least make the spill worthwhile. Sheesh, that was embarrassing.

Fist pound to The Big Lead
