Professional Tennis Player and Overland Park native Jack Sock likely made one young fan's dreams come true after a souvenir was ripped from his hands during one of Sock's matches at Wimbledon.
A video went viral on Tuesday of Sock tossing one of his towels into the stands after a match.
A teenaged fan and an adult man both caught the towel and video shows the man ripping the towel from the teen's hand.

So Sock stepped in on Twitter and asked people to help him find the young fan so he could send him a towel.
If anyone knows the kid that unfortunately had the towel ripped out of his hands...tweet his name at me and I'll be sure to get him one ??

Then the Twitter accounts for the US Open and Australian Open both stepped in and agreed to send some swag as well.
No sweat! Happy to chip in an #AusOpen towel. ?? ?

And now Sock has reportedly found the teen.
The Guardian reports that the fan's name was directly messaged to Sock on Instagram.
He's from Ireland and has already returned home but Sock invited him to future matches and plans to send a souvenir towel as well.
