Jo-Wilfried Tsonga(France) came to the aid of a ball girl in distress during his
second round match at the Australian Open and won accolades on social
media from fans who called him a gentleman
The No. 9-seeded Frenchman said he noticed that the ball girl was unwell
during the third set of his match Wednesday January 20,2016, so he paused before
serving and walked over to see what was wrong
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga put his hand on her back, and the ball girl handed Tsonga a ball
she was holding. He then looped his arm through hers and escorted the
ball girl off the court.
"I saw she was in trouble," Tsonga said. "It was normal to help her out of the stadium. I hope she's OK."
The
ball girl was fine, just feeling under the weather, according to
tournament organizers. And Tsonga is through to the third round after
beating Omar Jasika of Australia, 7-5, 6-1, 6-4
