Go big or go home, right?
Seizing his brief moment in the spotlight, an Australian ball boy stole the show with his pre-coin toss performance at the Australian Open on Monday, Jan. 14.
Before the first-round match between Kei Nishikori and Kamil Majchrzak, the kid was handed the coin for the toss which he flipped after working in some fancy moves including a front kick and 360 spin!
