Always expect the unexpected in the invitation doubles...#Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/lsArQJe4Rg
One fan got closer to the action than he expected during an invitation women's doubles match Friday at Wimbledon.
After suggesting Kim Clijsters should try a body serve against her opponents, the Belgian asked the fan to climb out of his seat and face the serve himself. The spectator wasn't wearing the customary all white required at Wimbledon, but luckily Clijsters saved the day with a skirt and shirt.
Once Clijsters regained her footing after falling down with laughter, she was able to test his return skills, to the delight of the crowd.
