Fan jumps on court, attempts selfie with Fed - ESPN Video

After Roger Federer’s straight sets victory over Alejandro Falla of Colombia on Day 1 of the French Open, a young fan ambled on to Court Philippe Chatrier an spent several moments trying to put his arm around Federer in a vain attempt to grab a selfie. Eventually, the tournament’s lackadaisical security arrived on the scene, though not nearly enough to consider it a job well done.



It’s not the first time that Federer has been left hanging by inept security at Roland Garros.



As Federer exits, kid walks on court, tries to take selfie w/RF. Does RG not remember this? Appalling (the kid, too). pic.twitter.com/dnnsdjYoyH — Ed McGrogan (@EdMcGrogan) May 24, 2015

Naturally, the chatter on Twitter was not very positive about the incident:

Wow what happened to the @rolandgarros security with kid running on the court trying to get selfie with Fedfan, he seemed very annoyed — Brad Gilbert (@bgtennisnation) May 24, 2015

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR SECURITY, PARIS. — Courtney Nguyen (@FortyDeuceTwits) May 24, 2015

No physical roughness between Federer and kid/fan, but the kid was literally touching Roger's shoulder ON COURT. Yikes #RG15 — Nick McCarvel (@NickMcCarvel) May 24, 2015
