Jodie Burrage to the rescue at Wimbledon as she helps unwell ball boy, feeds him sweets
Great Britain’s Jodie Burrage came to the aid of a ball boy who was taken ill during her first-round match with Lesia Tsurenko.
The youngster looked unsteady on his feet in the early part of the second set and the 23-year-old Briton attended to him, offering an energy gel from her bag and a drink.
The crowd also helped out, passing some Percy Pig sweets to her during a five-minute delay.
On Court 18, Jodie Burrage was quick to spot an unwell ballboy.
Rushed to the chair to get him some sports drink, stayed with him as help took a long time to arrive.
Then started feeding him Percy Pigs, provided by a helpful spectator. pic.twitter.com/7MbRWbAPAG
