The incident happened during the fifth set against Fabio Fognini as temperatures far exceeded 30C.
Alcaraz, 22, dashed to his bag and grabbed a bottle of water before running over to hand it to the crowd to take to the stricken spectator.
A 15-minute delay followed as she was given medical treatment.
And her daughter Eluned took to X to thank Alcaraz for his speedy service.

Wimbledon 2025 live: Raducanu faces formidable Sabalenka and Alcaraz continues hat-trick bid
It's day five of Wimbledon 2025, and there's another packed schedule ahead with Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz, Cam Norrie and Aryna Sabalenka in action. Raducanu, in fact, takes on Sabalenka in the final match on Centre Court today, as the young Briton and the world No 1 vie for a spot in the fourth round. Before that, on the same court, Alcaraz continues his bid for a third straight title in SW19, facing Jan-Lennard Struff. Elsewhere, Cam Norrie is the last Briton standing in the men's draw, and he'll try to overcome Mattia Bellucci on No 1 Court. That will be after Sonay Kartal goes up against Diane Parry, with Kartal aiming to do the home crowd proud. Naomi Osaka, Taylor Fritz and Madison Keys are among the other big names in action, and all will hope to emulate the likes of Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek and Barbora Krejcikova – three key players who advanced on Thursday. Djokovic progressed at the expense of Britain's Dan Evans, whose compatriot Jack Draper was the leading prospect for the home crop until he fell to former runner-up Marin Cilic.

Caitlyn Jenner's manager Sophia Hutchins, 29, killed in ATV crash that saw her ‘plunge 350ft down ravine'
Hutchins and Jenner both spoke out about the rumors they were dating given their extremely close friendship SOPHIA'S TRAGEDY Caitlyn Jenner's manager Sophia Hutchins, 29, killed in ATV crash that saw her 'plunge 350ft down ravine' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CAITLYN Jenner's friend and manager Sophia Hutchins has died at the age of 29. Hutchins, who first met Jenner in 2015, died after the ATV she was riding on in Malibu, California, collided into a car. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Sophia Hutchins (left) has died in an ATV crash Credit: Getty Images - Getty 3 Hutchins, seen at a Beverly Hills gala in 2020, plunged 350 feet into the ravine Credit: Getty The impact of the collision meant Hutchins plummeted 350 feet into a ravine after going over the shoulder of the road. There were two people in the car, according to TMZ, but they were not injured. Jenner is yet to comment on Hutchins' death. It's not yet known if she saw the crash unfold. Hutchins, who founded Lumasol, and Jenner lived together and had an extremely close relationship. The duo was first introduced to each other via a makeup artist. Hutchins became Jenner's manager in 2017 and she lived in the ex-Olympic gold medalist's home. This prompted rumors to swirl that the pair were dating. Hutchins, who is transgender, debunked the speculation in an interview with The New York Times. She explained how she was just filling a gap that was left by Jenner's ex-wife Kris. 'I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage,' Hutchins said. Caitlyn Jenner reunites with 'close friend' Sophia Hutchins on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 'And I was saying: "Caitlyn, if I don't step in here and start managing you, you're going to go broke."' In April 2015, Caitlyn, formerly Bruce Jenner, came out as a transgender woman before transitioning. Kris, the mom of Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, was married to Bruce between 1991 and 2015. Hutchins appeared in Jenner's reality TV series I am Cait that documented her transition. In 2021, Hutchins labeled reports of a romance with Jenner as fake news. 'Love the whole LGBT community but so tired of rumors that I am romantically with Caitlyn,' she said on social media. 'I am only ever with men and only ever have been. Stop the rumors! It's been years." Meanwhile, Jenner told the Sunday Times in 2023 she was very much single. 'I'm not even close to looking for a relationship,' she said. 'I'll never have a relationship in the future. I just don't see that in my life. I am not looking for that.' The pair attended events such as the White House Correspondents Dinner in April 2024. 3 Sophia with Caitlyn before the former Olympic athlete starred in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

Emma Raducanu turns up to watch men's world number one in Wimbledon practise amid Carlos Alcaraz romance rumours
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMA RADUCANU got ready for her clash with the women's world No 1 — by watching the men's world No 1. And the British underdog — who is 3-1 to shock Aryna Sabalenka on Centre Court today — has vowed to behave aggressively as she fights to stay in Wimbledon. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Emma Raducanu played keepy puppies ahead of her big match Credit: PA 4 She underwent a final session ahead of her clash with Aryna Sabalenka Credit: Getty 4 Raducanu watched Jannik Sinner beat Aleksandar Vukic Credit: PA Raducanu, 22, was doing keepy-uppies with her team at SW19's Aorangi Park training base. And before facing the Belarusian three-time Grand Slam champion, she watched the world's top man, Jannik Sinner, practise ahead of his straight-sets victory over Aleksandar Vukic. British No 1 Raducanu said: 'I'm trying to learn by osmosis. Jannik is so effortless when he hits the ball. 'I have been trying to watch a bit more live when I am away. I watched Joao Fonseca the other day. 'I have just been practising for just an hour and ten minutes. 'I was working on a few things I will need. 'I feel good. I'm doing everything I can on my side. I know over time I'm doing the right things.' Raducanu's 70-minute session started at 3pm and she hit mostly with colleague Adam Jones under the watchful eye of new coach Mark Petchey and good pal Jane O'Donoghue. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 4 Raducanu has been romantically linked to Carlos Alcaraz Credit: PA It was after that hit she went and watched Italian Sinner, sitting on a park bench for about 20 minutes. The Petchey masterplan worked when she impressively knocked out the 2023 Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova on Wednesday evening. Carlos Alcaraz claims he 'will do whatever she wants me to do' in revealing Emma Raducanu interview after Wimbledon win Now, there is nothing to lose, there is no pressure on Raducanu and, in a way, it is a free hit. She has never beaten anyone ranked No 1 in the world — in fact, she has never even won a set. But if she can approach it in the same manner as her victory over Czech star Vondrousova, then maybe she could shake up the entire women's draw. Raducanu added: 'Aryna is No 1 in the world for a reason. 'She has been so dominant in the women's game as of the last few years. 'I know it's going to be a massive challenge. I'm going to have to play some really good tennis. 'I'm going to have to be aggressive but pick my moments and not kind of be overly aggressive. You can fall into that trap, too. 'I don't think I'm going to go out there and out-power her size-wise and power-wise. 'I'm going to have to try to be creative as well. I'm more confident in my own game. 'Having the direction over the last few months built over consistency has really helped.'
