WATCH: Nicolas Jarry helps out ill fan during his 1R match against Stefanos Tsitsipas at China Open 2023

Nicolas Jarry recently showed his compassionate side as he helped out a young fan who had fallen ill during his match against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the 2023 China Open.

Jarry passed a water bottle to the child, who was sitting in the stands with her father, and received a round of applause from the spectators in return.

A video of Jarry’s act of kindness was posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, September 29.

The video was from Jarry’s first-round match against the fourth seed Tsitsipas, which took place on Friday, September 29, at the Olympic Green Tennis Center in Beijing. Jarry pulled off a stunning upset as he defeated the Greek in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.

Nicolas Jarry and Stefanos Tsitsipas have now met five times on the ATP tour, with their head-to-head record being evenly balanced at 2-2 before their encounter in Beijing. Their first match was in 2019 at 's-Hertogenbosch, where Jarry won in three sets on grass.

They met again this year at Monte-Carlo, where Tsitsipas prevailed in straight sets on clay. Then they faced each other on grass and hard courts, with Jarry winning at Halle and Tsitsipas avenging his loss at Los Cabos. Their match at the China Open was their second meeting on hard courts.
