Sometimes it all gets to be a bit too much, especially when you're performing in front of Roger Federer and a packed Perth crowd. The youngster in charge of the coin toss ahead of the Switzerland vs. Germany mixed doubles match got overwhelmed by the occasion and burst into tears.

Alexander Zverev tried to sooth the nervous little girl (who gave away her allegiance by being decked out head-to-toe in Switzerland colors).

"He’s a very nice guy, so don’t be shy," Zverev said. "Don’t cry. Everything is all right."

Federer also helped by way of giving her a hug. The girl performed her job perfectly, even helping Federer choosing the winning side of the coin.

Federer and Belinda Bencic would win that match, but ultimately fall to France on Friday, narrowly missing out on a spot in the Hopman Cup final.
