Ball kid shows off slick moves in Cincinnati

One boy stole the show during a highly contested second-round mat

Published Aug 18, 2016

On Wednesday in Cincinnati, it wasn't teenager Jared Donaldson that stole the show against Stan Wawrinka, but an unassuming ball boy with some very casual footwork. Neither player noticed (shout out to @stroppadel for catching it), but if Wawrinka had seen it, maybe he'd be less bored with his day job.

Donaldson had his chances against the No. 2 seed before succumbing, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4. Still, the 19-year-old did well to get a set off the two-time Grand Slam champion (he was leading 6-2, 0-3 when rain interrupted play on Tuesday).

The Swiss next plays Grigor Dimitrov on Thursday.
