Andy Murray's older brother was competing with his partner John Peers against Jonathan Erlich and Philipp Petzschner when a wayward serve rebounded their tennis ball into the crowd.
Luckily David saved the day by swiftly catching the ball from the Royal Box, with the impressive catch met to cheers and clapping by the crowd. The 40-year-old smiled and gave an acknowledging wave after throwing the ball back to the court, with even the players momentarily pausing their game to applaud him.
David was attending the match with his mother Sandra, and later shared a photo of them together with his eight million Instagram fans, writing: "Great day with my mum at Wimbledon".
The former England footballer's outing at the tennis tournament came just 24 hours after he treated his 12-year-old son Romeo to a day out to watch the quarter finals.
