Tennis star Kim Clijsters invites Wimbledon spectator to put on a skirt and play

Tennis star Kim Clijsters certainly doesn't need suggestions from the Wimbledon stands. But when one overzealous spectator couldn't help but shout advice, she took the opportunity to have some fun.

During a doubles match on Friday, Clijsters asked her partner, Rennae Stubbs, whether she should serve wide or down the middle. That's when a man in the front row yelled, "Body serve!" (That's a real thing, BTW.)

So Clijsters beckoned him to the court, inviting him to play a point or two. (You know, since he was so confident.) In accordance with Wimbledon regulations, she also lent him a set of tennis whites.

It didn't go as disastrously as one might've expected -- the dude actually returned the serve! But, of course, he was ultimately no match for Clijsters, who is obviously at the world's most prestigious tennis tournament for good reason.

Moral of the story? When at Wimbledon, shout at your own risk.
