Eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon on Monday, Briton Jodie Burrage still managed to score this 2022 edition of the Grand Slam.
The 23-year-old player indeed came to the aid of a young ball boy on the verge of discomfort.
As she was about to serve at the start of the second set against Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko, she noticed that the boy was not in his normal state.
She then rushed to her chair to get a drink and some energy gel.
