French
tennis
superstar
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
has shared a heartfelt letter from a ball girl, whom he had helped during a match in the
2016 Australian Open
.
Last year during his second round match,
Tsonga
stopped the contest when he noticed a ball girl was in tears after being struck by ball. He checked the girl and escorted her off the court.
After a year, Tsonga has revealed that the girl,
Giuliana
, has sent him a 'thank you' letter with a heartfelt message, which he shared on his twitter handle.
Here's excerpt from the letter: "Dear Mr Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for helping me out on court during your round 2 match of the Australian Open 2016."
"I'm not sure if you remember me but I was the ball girl you escorted off court. I would also like to take this opportunity to apologise for all the times when you asked for the ball but I didn't service it to you or acknowledge you."
"Thank you so much for the kindness you showed me. I really appreciate that you were able to see that I needed some help and were kind enough to escort me off court."
And here's the video of the moment Tsonga helped the girl:
