Rafael Nadal provides a young fan with a memory of a lifetime as Mason from Sacramento not only gets to meet one of his tennis heroes, he also gets to participate in a little football challenge with the King of Clay. Unfortunately for Mason, a very nice and shy boy, Rafa was in no mood to be shown up on the football pitch. Nadal takes care of business, defeating mason 2-1, and you better believe he would have made that third goal if he needed it.

In the end Mason gets some nice hang time with a tennis legend, and gets his hat signed. Oh, and his classmates will now see what a superstar he is on Twitter. Not a bad day for the young boy.
