"Moments like this". The video has been tweeted by the account of the US Open itself, and is that the gesture of Rafa Nadal has generated a wave of "oh my god" among the commentators themselves of the official channel of the tournament.

"Oh, he is crying," says one of them, while in the image Nadal rescues a small child who cries, crushed in the avalanche of the public who squats against the fence to greet his idol. "Well done, Rafa," says another. "They had crushed the child," he explains, "everything will be fine."

Meanwhile, Nadal caresses the boy's face, torn in tears, trying to recover from fright. "How sweet is this, Rafa," animates one of the voices off , and explains that there is an area for children in which the little protagonist of the video was, but the emotion caused him to be crushed in the front rows.

With the boy a little calmer, Rafa signs even an autograph on his cap. "And you wonder why Rafa and Roger and Novak are such great world idols? It's at times like this."

The father of the little boy rescued by Nadal has recorded the emotion of the boy on Twitter : "The boy you saved is my son," he tweeted, "I was idolizing you but now you're also his hero."
