Plans to replace ball boys and girls at Wimbledon with dogs has failed - as the playful pooches refused to return with the balls.
A trial took place at London’s Wilton Tennis Club ahead of the Wimbledon Finals next weekend - but tennis chiefs decided humans were quicker as dogs wouldn't drop the balls without being given a treat.
During the experiment, the dogs underwent a series of speed and agility tests including running up and down the court and high-jumping over the net, reports The Star.
