Video: Watch as Rafael Nadal halts match so that a distraught mother could be reunited with her lost daughter




Rafael Nadal is known for his kind nature on and off the court, but the tennis ace did something quite remarkable during an exhibition match on his home-island of Mallorca.

The Spanish great has become a viral hit on social media in recent hours after he purposely postponed his serve so a distraught mother could be reunited with her daughter.

Nadal who was competing in a charity doubles match against elders John McEnroe and Carlos Moya, halted the match after he noticed a commotion in the stands as there was a search ongoing for the missing child.

So, rather than serve and distract from the distraction, Rafa held back his serve so fans could move about the seating bowl to reunite the family.

Watch the remarkable moment below:
