Roger Federer played against Grigor Dimitrov in the 2015 BNP Paribas but the real star of the match was a young boy.
Federer lost to Dimitrov 6-2, 1-6, 7-5 in the BNP Paribas Showdown exhibition in Madison Square Garden. But it was an unknown young boy that emerged the real stat of the match.
During the deciding third set, Dimitrov left the court to take a little break. However, he pulled a kid out of the stands and put him on the court. And the young boy, clad in jeans and a hoodie, found himself facing Federer.
Federer, trying to be have some fun smiled at the boy and gently served the ball. Surprsingly, the kid was able to keep up a rally with the champ and ultimately won a point off Federer with a beautiful lob shot over his head. The crowd cheered for the boy and Dimitrov gave him a well deserved high five.
Winning a point off Federer and getting a high five from Dimitrov? That moment will definitely be permanently etched on the young boy's memory forever.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
