If you didnโ€™t know already, tennis star Kim Clijsters has an awesome sense of humor.

She gave fans a taste on Friday while playing in an invitational doubles match at Wimbledon.

When asking her partner, Rennae Stubbs, whether she should serve wide or down the middle, a man in the crowd yelled out, โ€œBody serve!โ€

As Clijsters and the crowd laughed, she summoned him to the court to play a point or two, and her opponents helped the man down from stands.

Clijsters joked, โ€œIโ€™m so glad heโ€™s wearing all white,โ€ noting the Wimbledon clothing regulations, before scampering to her bag to pull out a white skirt for the man to wear.

The television commentators were doubtful, saying, โ€œKim, this isnโ€™t going to work. Theyโ€™re not going to get over the knees,โ€ as Clijsters fell to the court in a fit of laughter.

But boy, did the guy prove them wrong.

Soon the man was dressed in his white tennis skirt and jacket, and ready to attempt to return Clijstersโ€™ body serve.

He even managed to hit the first one back! But the point was soon over as Stubbs put the ball away.

Clijsters gave the man a few more chances, just for fun, before the two teams and the heckler posed for some hilarious pictures, as one of the commentators remarked, โ€œTheyโ€™ve completely forgotten thereโ€™s a tennis match going here.โ€
