Nadal's tender kiss to a ball boy: "He has been one of my worst scares on a tennis court"

• Chronicle: Nothing ends with a Delbonis fighter and waits for Carreño

Rafa Nadal's triumph against the Delbonis fighter who qualified him for the third round of the Australian Open - there he will see them this Saturday with Carreño - had his most tender moment at the end of the third set, when the Spaniard was about to win. Then, a rest hit the face of a ball boy and the Balearic did not hesitate to take an interest in his condition, lift his cap and even give it an affectionate kiss that blushed the little girl.

The stands celebrated the gesture of Nadal, who later talked about what happened. "She's a super brave girl. She has been one of the worst scares I've ever lived on a tennis court, because the ball has gone straight to the head," said the Spaniard, who joked with his wife, Xisca Perelló , who was in the stands. "I hope it doesn't matter to my wife after 15 years," he said, unleashing the laughter of his team and the entire public of the Rod Laver.

At the end of the second round match, Nadal has had the gesture of giving the girl her hair ribbon.
