WATCH: Nadal makes ball boy's day at Roland Garros

Not surprisingly, Rafael Nadal has swept through his opponents at Roland Garros. Despite a few challenges, he has cruised into the quarterfinals without losing a set. All of that winning has made him more relaxed then ever, and in need of a little extra practice.

After his win over Richard Gasquet in the third round, the ten-time French Open champion surprised a lucky ball boy by hitting with him on Court Philippe Chatrier.

While visiting the Tennis Channel studio later, Nadal explained how he loves giving back to his fans, having been just like them when he was a child.

The Spaniard also gave out high five’s to the Roland Garros ball kids.

On Monday, Nadal took out 22-year-old Maximilian Marterer for a spot in the quarterfinals. He'll face Diego Schwartzman next.
