“Are you allowed to do that?” he posited to ball girl Mollie before the Duchess of Cornwall chimed in. “Oh wait, are you allowed to do that?” she asked. “That’s a good question.”
Federer, in turn, pointed out that in Australia “they would catch it,” but it is not regulation at Wimbledon.
“Yeah, you’re not meant to catch it,” Mollie told the pair. “You’re meant to let it bounce and then catch it, but good catch.”
