GREAT BRITAIN’S Jodie Burrage came to the aid of a ball boy who was taken ill during her first-round defeat to Lesia Tsurenko today.
The youngster looked unsteady on his feet early in the second set of her 6-2 6-3 loss 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.
The ball boy was later treated by paramedics and left in a wheelchair.
The loss saw Burrage, whose impressive form in the run-up to Wimbledon has seen her climb into the top 150, become the first Briton to lose at this year’s tournament.
