WATCH: Ball boy gets starstruck watching Nadal in Paris

Rafael Nadal can make anyone get starry-eyed, especially when he's dominating on clay. During the Spaniard's first-round match against Simone Bolleli at the French Open, he passed the net on a changeover when a boy was caught gazing at him.

Nadal was a little preoccupied to notice the admiration. Bolleli was on the verge of taking the world No. 1 to a fourth set, something that hasn't happened to Nadal at Roland Garros since 2015. The set went all the way to a tiebreaker—marking the first tiebreak Nadal has played in Paris since 2013.

The Spaniard came through in the end, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (9).

He will face Guido Pella in the second round.
