ONS JABEUR showed her kind heart by helping out a fan who fell ill at Wimbledon. The two-time runner-up took on qualifier Robin Montgomery on No2 Court in their second-round clash. 3 Play was halted in Ons Jabeur's second-round match at Wimbledon Credit: PA 3 The Tunisian gave drinks to fans to help a stricken supporter Credit: BBC Temperatures were in the low 20s on Thursday, the sunniest and hottest day of the Championships so far .
And early in the first set, play was halted when a supporter needed attention. Jabeur had just worked up a break point on the Montgomery serve at 2-1 when the incident happened. The TV cameras did not show the spectator, who was seated behind the baseline on the third show court at the All England Club.
But the umpire immediately used the phone on her chair to call for help. And with the players waiting before carrying on, Jabeur sprung into action to offer assistance. The Tunisian, seeded tenth at Wimbledon 2024, grabbed a pair of water bottles from her bag and handed them to a pair of fans leaning over the barrier to take to the stricken supporter - one with water in and another with an electrolyte drink.
The crowd applauded the classy gesture as Jabeur watched on from the back of the court, doing her best to check that the unwell fan was okay.
