<p> Ball girl Erin Lorencin was shaken but not stirred after Frenchman Michael Llodra collided with her and had to retire from his match with Germany's Tommy Haas on Wednesday. <br />Fellow ball girl Chloe Chambers then stepped into the spotlight, enjoying a light-hearted game with Haas in front of 10,000 spectators on Court One. <br /><br />On Thursday, they were bombarded with questions by reporters at an impromptu news conference and deluged with texts and messages from around the world. <br /><br />Chambers, facing the cameras with amazing media savvy for a 15-year-old schoolgirl, said: "I am just over the moon that I got to play with Tommy on Court One. It was just amazing all the response I got from my family and friends." <br /><br />"When I got home my mum said, 'I saw you on TV'. People all around the world have been calling." <br /><br />Her tennis heroine is five times Wimbledon champion Venus Williams. <br /><br />Asked who was her men's hero, she laughed and replied "I would have to say Tommy Haas. I saw him give a little clap at the end so I did OK." Jokingly probed about whether Haas could improve his game, she said: "Maybe his forehand, a little bit more topspin". <br />Chambers, who has been playing since she was three, added: "I am only a ball girl not a tennis player. To be handed the racket and get this much publicity is amazing." <br /><br />While Chambers played in front of thousands of spectators, all poor Lorencin got was a clout across the ear. <br /><br />The collision with Llodra went by the 15-year-old in a blur. <br /><br />"I don't remember much... I was really confused. I was very shocked. I really didn't expect it to happen," she said." <br /><br />"Luckily my friends are on a camp right now thank God but a lot of them did text me. It is really embarrassing. My little brother was very pleased and laughing." <br /><br />Lorencin, who plays tennis up to four times a week, would love one day to switch from ball girl to tennis player. <br /><br />Asked to name her tennis hero, she had no hesitation in saying: "I love Federer so much".</p>
