Player Jodie Burrage stops in the middle of a match to rescue a ball boy

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.

“They managed to find some sweets”

“The gel is not the most pleasant thing, so they managed to find some candy somewhere in the crowd,” she explained after the match, according to comments reported by West France. He swallowed them and started to feel better. I hope he is well now. »

This short interruption did not allow Jodie Burrage to reverse the match in front of her public. She finally lost (6-2, 6-3) and will therefore have time to hear from the young ball boy.
