Is there anything David Beckham cannot do?

The former England captain attended Wimbledon with his son Romeo on Wednesday afternoon and, as usual, several camera lenses were constantly trained on the 40-year-old.

Although Jamie Murray managed to qualify for his second men's doubles final, alongside partner John Peers, it was the celebrity spectator that stole the show when a stray serve flew into the Royal Box.

Beckham reached up to pluck the ball, which had rebounded off of a line judge's chair, out of the air to prove he is just as useful with his hands as his feet.

Needless to say, such razor sharp reflexes wowed the Centre Court crowd.

The ex-Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy midfielder merely offered a somewhat embarrassed smile and waved to his fellow tennis fans after returning the ball, allowing the action to continue.
