Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was delighted to receive a letter from a ball girl he helped from the court at last year's Australian Open, after she had been dazed by being struck in the face with a ball. 

"Dear Mr. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga," the letter read. "I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you for helping me out on court during your round 2 match. I'm not sure if you remember me but I was the ball girl you escorted off court." 

Tsonga commented: "It was nice to have this letter. I didn't do something really special, to be honest. I just saw her last year. She was struggling. I saw that she needs some help. The only thing I did is I took her and I bring her to outside of the court, and that's it. I didn't save the world at all. But it was really kind to receive something after that."

Thank you very much for your letter Giuliana !!! 👌🏾✨💙 #Remember #AustOpen2016 pic.twitter.com/0dBNXGUFxP
