However, when the TikToker was finishing her session on the drizzling court above a day of bad weather in Banjarnegara, Indonesia, the most astonishing of near-death experiences happened.

In the dramatic footage on Nana’s TikTok account, @nfianas, Nana can be seen practising her forehand technique, returning balls to her coach on the opposite side of the net.

But after her second return, as if from nowhere, a bolt of lightning struck, igniting the tallest tree beside the court before smoke came billowing out of it.

Evidently shaken from this near-death experience, which left her just a few meters from death, Nana drops the racquet on the court, putting her hands over her ears and looking for shelter.

‘But suddenly, just as I was about to finish the last 30 minutes of the training session, this lightning came down and hit the tallest tree, and everyone in the soccer field next door screamed. 

‘From there I was really shocked, my reflexes meant I just slammed the racquet and I froze.

For some reason, this morbid event does not seem to inhibit Nana’s training in tennis.

In the last 72 hours, the Indonesian has uploaded loads of videos of herself practicing in the court or simply decorating her racquet.
