The Incredible Moment David Beckham Made a Brilliant Catch at Wimbledon
David Beckham can still bend it like it's no one's business. The 40-year-old former sport star proved he's still got it when he caught a rogue ball at the men's doubles semi-final match at Wimbledon in which Jamie Murray and John Peers played Jonathan Erlich and Philipp Petzschner. Becks, sitting in the Royal Box, provided the highlight of the match.
The incredible catch was almost caught on camera. It was after a nifty serve that the ball bounced off a line-judge's chair and swung over the Royal Box. Becks, being Becks, caught it amid huge cheers from the crowd and threw it back to the players on court.

This Ball Girl Has To Remove A MASSIVE Bug From The Court. Her Reaction Is Hilarious!
I've never really been too keen on watching televised sports, unless it's hockey. However, with this type of entertainment, maybe I should start tuning into tennis matches!
A ball person's job is to retrieve and supply balls during tennis matches. They are also responsible for ensuring that there is nothing on the court that could be a distraction. However, I'm guessing that large bug extraction wasn't in the job posting. Watch this poor girl's hilarious reaction as she picks a massive bug off the court. I feel bad for laughing, but it's pretty hilarious.
