Small act of kindness
Nowadays even the smallest gesture of kindness by someone high and up is so rare. But when it happens, more than the gesture itself, it warms the heart to know that the world recognized this gesture and celebrated.
We are talking about the French Open. On 26th May, rains delayed the French Open. Usually, we see the tennis stars sitting it out , either in the court itself and or they are escorted under an umbrella to the green room. And the ball boys and girls? They pull up the hoodies to their wind cheaters and wait it out on the court.
Thus it was such a treat to see the World No2 seeded player, Novak Djokovic invite the ball boy, who was holding an umbrella to him to come and sit down with him. That’s not all; Djokovic traded his racket for the umbrella and offered the ball boy a drink of Perrier. On the other side of the Court, Djokovic’s opponent, Sousa sat underneath an umbrella held by a bell boy.
Well, it did not matter at that point as to who won the match. Djokovic probably now has the highest number of fan following and surely, he won Game Match Set as a human being.
