Quick reactions are a hallmark of being a professional tennis player, and Jodie Burrage showed the Wimbledon crowd she could respond to adversity quickly. ()
The British player noticed a ballboy who was feeling faint on the sidelines during her match on Monday, then rushed over to make sure he was OK. She first gave him a sports drink, then some nutritional gel before a spectator handed over a bag of candy.
바카라Just tried to get him some sugar, gave him a Gatorade and a gel. The gel is not the nicest thing, so they managed to find some Percy Pigs somewhere along the line in the crowd, which he got down and then started to feel better,바카라 Burrage said. 바카라Hopefully he바카라s feeling better now.바카라
The match was stopped for about 10 minutes until the boy was helped off court.
Unfortunately for the 23-year-old Burrage, her heroics didn바카라t help her in the match. She lost to Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 6-3 on the opening day of the tournament.
Burrage said she noticed the ballboy was in distress and wanted to help.
바카라I just reacted how I think anyone would. He was not in a good spot,바카라 Burrage said. 바카라I just tried to help him out as much as possible.바카라
More help came from the crowd in the form of the chewy candy.
바카라I definitely love a Percy Pig, that바카라s for sure,바카라 Burrage said. 바카라I was just like, 바카라This kid needs sugar.바카라 He wasn바카라t liking the gel. I was like, 바카라Yeah, definitely need something else.바카라 Someone just shouted on the side, 바카라Got some sweets here if you want.바카라 They were Percy Pigs.바카라
Burrage made her debut at Wimbledon last year and also lost in the first round. But she바카라ll get another chance this year in women바카라s doubles. She and Eden Silva will play their first match later in the week.
바카라Really looking forward to that,바카라 Burrage said. 바카라Hopefully I can get over the line in that one.바카라
