A clip of a ball boy's brilliant catch from the Australian Open has gone viral.
In the semi-final tennis match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the Swiss player nonchalantly hits the ball towards the ball boy when his serve is called a 'fault'.
The boy's quick reactions, however, allowed him to impressively catch the tennis ball - all while keeping his composure. The commentator likened him to cricketer Ricky Ponting.
The catch was greeted by a loud cheer by the crowd. The video itself has attracted nearly two million hits since being uploaded yesterday (January 26).
Nadal ended up beating Federer in four sets to make the final, where he will play Novak Djokovic.
