Wimbledon 2017: Male fan enters court on invitation, wears white skirt; watch
The said spectator was given a chance to try to return a serve from four-time Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters.
London: It's widely known that the players at Wimbledon must follow the strict dress code. On Friday an unexpected event happened during the invitational doubles match which will be remembered forever by the tennis fans.
A man was invited from the crowd during a women's invitational doubles match, which was played by former tennis stars Kim Clijsters, Rennae Stubbs, Andrea Jaeger and Conchita Martinez. The said spectator was given a chance to try to return a serve from four-time Grand Slam 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. The fan got a big hug from Clijsters and a photo with the entire group that he’ll surely cherish for a long, long time.
