CRISTIANO RONALDO dropped a clanger at the tennis before the ball hit girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on the head.
Luckily the Portuguese superstar had his young son to thank by launching the ball back towards the court.
Cristiano Ronaldo missed his catch while watching the ATP Tour Finals in London
The Juventus ace was in London to watch the Nitto ATP Finals at the O2 Arena tonight.
Ronaldo, 33, had front-row seats with model girlfriend Rodriguez and son Ronaldo Jr to enjoy world No1 and top seed Novak Djokovic begin his campaign in the season-ending tournament against American giant John Isner.
Not one to stay out of the limelight, all eyes were on him when the ball sailed towards his direction but he missed the catch before it bounced up onto Rodriguez's head.
The trio all looked in good humour as they shared a joke before continuing to watch the action unfold on the court.
Ronaldo managed to keep his abs under-wraps this evening after last week's antics, wearing a black blazer with a white t-shirt, while Georgina opted for a red skirt with a black top.
Serbian Djokovic, 31, is the heavy favourite to lift the trophy come Sunday's final.
But his final showdown against Roger Federer could be in danger after the Swiss legend lost his opening match to Kei Nishikori yesterday meaning the pair could meet in the semi-finals instead.
Ronaldo is an avid tennis fan and was in attendance at the French Open in June before the World Cup to support good friend and fellow Nike athlete Rafael Nadal.
The pair teamed up earlier this year, along with musician Enrique Iglesias, to become owners of popular Madrid restaurant Tatel.
But despite his pal's forced absence at the O2 Arena this week due to injury, the Juventus star still went along to take in some high-class tennis.
Ronaldo was snapped in London last night checking into a £9,000-a-night hotel alongside Rodriguez and son Cristiano Jr.
That is despite playing the full 90 minutes of his side's 2-0 win over AC Milan in Italy just hours previously.
He scored, helped save a penalty and was forced to step in to try and calm down former team-mate Gonzalo Higuain in a fiery game at the San Siro.
