During the Australian Open semifinal tennis match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Federer accidentally made a star out of one of the ball boys. Federer flicked the ball towards the side of the court after faulting on a serve, and the ball boy got up from his knees and reached behind him to catch the ball with one hand. The crowd cheered for the impressive catch. If he's not a baseball player already, he may want to consider it. Video via ESPN. H/T Larry Brown Sports.
