Rafael Nadal, Sam Querrey and other stars hung out with SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star in Acapulco for the Mexican Open's Kids' Day.

The event included a champions' exhibition, consisting of Nadal, Carlos Moya, David Ferrer and Querrey. Last year, Querrey played a near-perfect match to beat Nadal in the final.

Of course, this all went down before Nadal was forced to withdraw from the event with a hip injury.

The local children got to partake in the the festivities, too.

They even played a fun racket-target game with Kevin Anderson.
