Emotional Nicolas Mahut gets hug from son during French Open
With the French Open going on, fans of the game are glued to their screens to watch their favourite players in action. The French Open, in the history of sports, has given us some of the most iconic moments.
A recent match between Nicolas Mahut and Argentina's Leonardo Mayer during the French Open was one such match. Nicolas Mahut's run came to an end in the French Open after he lost to his opponent.

A journalist and Twitter user, Tancredi Palmeri, shared the video on his official account and captioned it, "You maybe already saw this. Tennis player Mahut losing at Roland Garros in front of his family, breaks down in tears. His kid runs on court to hug him. His opponent Mayer getting emotional. Father and son walk away hand in hand. Losing, winning, living."
