LONDON — Even spectators at Wimbledon have to wear white sometimes.
One man was pulled from the crowd Saturday during a women’s invitational doubles match and given the chance to try to return a serve from four-time major champion Kim Clijsters.
In a nod to the All England Club’s strict rules about clothing for competitors, Clijsters went over to the sideline and grabbed a white skirt for the man to put over his blue shorts. Because he had on a light green shirt, he also was given a white shirt to pull on.
Clijsters served — and the man got the ball back over the net. One time, at least.
