A WIMBLEDON match on Centre Court was halted TWICE in the same game for a medical emergency in the crowd and a bloody injury.
American No1 Taylor Fritz took on Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the opening match on the main show court on Friday.
But early in the second set, play was suspended with Fritz serving at 2-1 up having taken the opener 6-4.
It is understood a fan was taken ill.
The spectator was helped by being given water and an umbrella put up to protect them from the sun.
The chair umpire used his phone to speak to Wimbledon officials as the two players waited on the court.
Play got back underway after four-and-a-half minutes once the supporter had been taken out of the stadium.
But in the very same game, the match was suspended again.
That was because Fritz attempted an acrobatic dive but re-opened a cut on his right elbow as blood poured down his arm.
The Californian suffered the initial injury in his previous match and he had to have a medical time-out when break point down to get the blood cleared up.

Thankfully, he was all patched up and able to continue.
And it meant that when he eventually held serve, the game had lasted for a whopping 18 minutes.
