If you're a sports fan, you know how much hard work goes into becoming the best of the best and revered by millions all over the world. You see it everywhere: fans and admirers cheer for sports heroes who have an ability that the rest of us can only dream of having!
But what if you could have that experience of thousands cheering you on at a stadium, and only be 9 years old? One little girl knows what that's like, but wait until you see who her tennis match opponent was!
At an exhibition tennis match between Rafael Nadal and Juan Martin del Potro at Madison Square Garden, the pros picked teammates with whom to play a match of doubles. Famous actor Ben Stiller happened to be in the audience, and one of the players picked him. The other picked the little girl.
When they take their places on the court, you may think that this little girl can't possibly have any skill, that she's clearly out of her league. But you haven't seen Stiller play tennis before. The child hits every ball that comes her way, while the actor was single-handedly responsible for his team's defeat in the hilarious match. It was all in good fun, and the crowd roared for her.
Please SHARE if you were surprised by the child's skill as much as we were!
