Watch: Ballboy makes amazing catch during Federer-Nadal match
The 14-year-old reflexively made the one-handed catch during the Australian Open semi-final.

WHAT A CATCH.

It’s more like something you’d expect to see at a cricket match than a tennis game, but this one-handed reflexive catch by a ballboy at the Australian Open is seriously impressive.

The teenager reflexively reached out for a stray ball from Roger Federer during the semi-final between Federer and Rafael Nadal in Melbourne.

“I didn’t have much time to think about it,” 14-year-old Dylan Colaci told news.com.au. “I just stuck my hand out and the ball stayed there. I couldn’t believe it myself but then I just had to get straight on with the match”.

What a pro.
