A TENNIS fan left his other half red-faced after pulling away from a loving kiss to watch a serve at Wimbledon.
Laurent Lokoli's Court Two clash with Casper Ruud was a barnburner from the get-go, with fans unable to take their eyes off the action.
One couple, however, used a break in play to have a cheeky smooch – although the seemingly tennis-mad bloke left his lady friend in the lurch by breaking the kiss to catch Lokoli's serve.

His partner looked somewhat miffed as she stared at him taking in the powerful serve.
Tennis fans were quick to comment, with one saying: "15 love."
