Roger Federer got more than he bargained for Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

After failing to close a net rush against the kiddo, Federer ended up being beaten 7-5 in the final stanza by Dimitrov himself. As for that kid, he gets the memory of a lifetime. And as for Federer? It's clear he had a good time of it as well.

That's good tennis, and it was also great TV.
