Spectator's hilarious reaction to brilliant crowd catch

A fan at the Australian Open had Rod Laver Arena in hysterics after a brilliant reaction to his one-handed classic catch.

During the fifth set of Rafael Nadal's epic win over German teenager Alexander Zverev on Saturday, Zverev accidentally sent one of his forehands straight into the crowd.

One lucky bloke in the front row stuck out his right hand and pulled off a nice one-handed catch, much to the delight of the packed crowd.

He couldn't stop laughing at the reaction, but it was his reaction to seeing himself on the big screen that topped off the awesome moment to perfection.
