A little boy video-taped playing on a bumpy mud court in the Philippines without any shoes has captured the world's attention.

Grigor Dimitrov posted the clip to his Instagram page, calling attention to how lucky everyone is to "have a flat court, tennis shoes, new balls, fresh strung rackets."

It really puts things in perspective. It's also hard not to notice that the boy is quite good, despite the circumstances fighting against him.

The next time you're having a bad day and moping around on the court after a missed shot, be grateful for what you have.
