After staggering for a moment or two, the unfortunate ball kid eventually fell to the ground, with Echargui seen sprinting to help. Thankfully, the youngster managed to get back on their feet shortly afterwards, with an Australian Open official also seen rushing over.

Game, set, match – one ball boy stole the show at the US Open after he was caught in a sweet moment on the court. On 28 August, the official US Open TikTok posted a video to their page featuring a young man with red hair standing on the edge of the court.
