It was a doubles exhibition tennis match of world champions, but that didn't stop Raphael Nadal from putting the brakes on when he saw a distressed mother in the crowd.

Nadal was about to serve in to Carlos Moya and John McEnroe during their game in Manacor, Mallorca when he saw a crying woman gesturing to a steward up in the stands.

When heads started to turn, the arena realized that she was a mother looking for her lost child who had wandered away during the game.

The audience searched the seats until they found little Clara crying a ways away from her momma.

When the woman scooped up her weeping daughter, the crowd rose to tumultuous applause and the game resumed.
