Clijsters stopped in laughter, asked the man to come forward to the court and receive the serve.   

"I'm happy with my all whites, " said Clijsters as the man was wearing blue shorts and a green t-shirt. and the crowd were elated. Clijsters did not stop with that, she quickly ran to her bag, took a skirt and helped the man to wear it.

It was funny as the man tried to put on the skirt. He finally made to change in all whites, with a white t-shirt and the skirt. 

He wasn't able to return the serve and Clijsters won the game. Later, all the four ladies took pictures with the man in his skirt.
