PLAY was delayed during the first Wimbledon women’s semi-final due to a medical incident in the stands.
Aryna Sabalenka was serving at 2-3 40-40 in the first set when the match had to be halted.
A spectator sat directly in the 31C heat required attention.
Members of the armed services working as stewards quickly went over to provide medical attention and an umbrella.
Concerned world No1 Sabalenka also brought over a bottle of water to help.
The spectator was then helped away, with Centre Court applauding.
Both players headed back to their chairs during the delay.
After around five minutes, the match was able to resume.
Prior to the delay, Sabalenka had to save two break points.
Resuming at deuce, the Belarusian showed nerves of steel to hold serve.
