In one of the stranger themes on the opening day of Wimbledon, British tennis player Jodie Burrage shared exactly why she offered an unwell ball boy some Percy Pigs. During the 23-year-old’s opening round match at Wimbledon earlier today, she tended to the youngster after noticing he was struggling.
She then waited with him for several minutes, before offering him the famous British treat that was provided by a generous spectator. During her post-match press conference, the Brit provided an explanation for her gesture.
“I just reacted how I think anyone would. He was not in a good spot and I just tried to help him out as much as possible,” she said. "I fainted a few times and I actually had a panic attack once in juniors here, so I’ve been where he is, and I know a little bit about how was feeling, so I just tried to help as much as I could.
