ARNOLD Schwarzenegger was no match for the charm of Aussie tennis champion and all-round nice guy Dylan Alcott.

A terminator of bad guys on the big screen and political foes off it — the 70-year-old was no match for one of our most accomplished sportsman.

The former Governor of California got a lesson in wheelchair tennis during his promotional duties at the much-hyped Arnold Sports Festival.

``Dylan — you son of a bitch,’’ Schwarzenegger said during the introduction — using a famous line from the movie Predator.

Alcott said the encounter was another highlight.

“He was a great bloke to meet and for him to play wheelchair tennis was pretty cool,’’ he said.

It was Alcott’s second encounter with a Hollywood star this year after the 27-year-old enjoyed a hit with Will Smith during the Australian Open.

Schwarzenegger continued his Melbourne visit by firing the starting gun at the Herald Sun/City Link Run for the Kids at Alexandra Avenue.
