From world leaders to celebrities of all degrees of fame, taking a selfie with fans has become an accepted part of life.
But
tennis great Roger Federer felt an unacceptable line was crossed Sunday
when a spectator invaded center court at the French Open to try to get a
snap with the 17-time grand slam winner.
The boy -- reportedly a teenager -- got close enough to Federer to put his arms around his shoulders as he was walking off the playing arena.
It raised fears over security in a city where just a few months ago terrorists killed 11 people in the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The incident also brought back memories of the 1993 attack on former women's No. 1 Monica Seles, who quit playing for two years after being stabbed during a tournament in Germany.
