One of a parent's greatest fears is losing her children. Professional tennis player Rafael Nadal, 32, (currently ranked 1st in men's singles) is considered one of the greatest male tennis players. 

On September 2016, he prepared for a doubles match with Simon Solbas as he would prepare for any other game. Nadal knew he had to stay focused to win against Carlos Moya and John McEnroe in Spain. There was only one thing that distracted him from starting the match. That distraction was a mom calling out the name of her lost child.

There were 7000 fans in attendance at his tennis game, but he had his eyes on a woman who was standing next to a steward shouting “Clara!” 

When Nadal and Solbas heard the desperation in her voice, they stopped the tennis match immediately. The following viral clip will show you how quickly a star athlete can break out of his "zone" to help a mother in need. 

At the beginning of the video, all fans have their paper fans in front of their face trying to create some cool breeze in the hot weather as they wait for the first hit. Before Nadal and Solbas serve, they turn their heads towards the crowd as they hear the woman crying out for help. Nadal is now out of his "zone" and shifted his focus elsewhere. 

The woman in the crowd, fighting back the tears, has attracted the attention of everyone else in the audience as she frantically looks around for her lost child. In roughly one minute, the crowd was able to help reunite the frightened child with her mom. The women cried tears of joy, and the crowd gave her a round of applause. 

After the women left the stadium with her child, the game was able to continue. 

How did you feel after watching this viral video? Have you ever lost your child for a brief moment? If so, what happened?
